ShareAn environmental assessment of performance trends in air conditioners and heat pumps.
Author(s) : SIBLEY H. W.
Summary
The paper evaluates the global-warming potential of unitary equipment systems that use fluorocarbon-based refrigerants. It shows that the global warming potential of a fluid used in a given system has minimal contribution to the systems total global warming impact. Instead, the major effect is attributed to the efficiency performance of a system. It is concluded that selecting a gas or fluid used in unitary equipment solely on the basis of its chemical global-warming potential is not justified and may be environmentally inappropriate.
