The environmental impact and performance of HFO R454A in retail supermarkets.

Number: 1230

Author(s) : CAMERON S., CHURCHYARD B., COOK N.

Summary

This paper introduces an overview of environmental science, technical and safety considerations associated with low GWP HFO refrigerants. Its main section assesses the performance of what is considered to be the world’s first supermarket HFO refrigeration system operating in a traditional direct expansion application, with comparisons made against other available refrigerant technologies. The paper identifies the wider environmental potential of adopting HFO R454A against other technologies from both a direct and indirect emissions perspective. The foundations of this trial supermarket system will pave the way for a significant uptake in low GWP, next generation synthetic refrigerants. This paper demonstrates tangible performance and environmental benefits over current and other emerging environmentally friendly refrigeration systems, whilst offering end users a cost-effective and future-proof solution.
