Air-conditioning and refrigeration's contribution to global warming gases.

Author(s) : MENZER M. S., HOURAHAN G. C.

Summary

The paper utilizes previously-developed methodologies to illustrate the relative contributions to atmospheric global warming gases from today's air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment versus those produced twenty-five years earlier. Equipment included in the comparisons are a low-pressure centrifugal chiller, a low-temperature supermarket rack, a residential split-system air conditioner, and a household refrigerator. Illustrated is that small variations in efficiencies have a greater impact on greenhouse gas creation than do large variations in a refrigerant's global warming potential.
