Alternative refrigerants for refrigeration and air conditioning.

Author(s) : STEIMLE F.

Summary

After the Montreal Protocol a big discussion started concerning the alternatives for the different CFCs. A lot of different points must be considered carefully. These are e.g. ozone depletion, global warming, flammability and toxicity. Because there will be no fluid with positive results in all four points we must be aware of at least one risk. The development goes in two directions, on one hand towards fluorinated hydrocarbons and on the other hand towards natural fluids like ammonia, propane, butane CO2 and water.
