Summary

Novel refrigeration working fluids with attributes of superior thermal performance and low environmental impact are in development stages approaching commercialization. These fluids known as HFO-1234yf and HFO-1234ze exhibit very low global warming potential, good refrigeration performance, improved flammability characteristics compared to hydrocarbon materials, and are in conformance with the EU F-Gas Regulation (EC 842/2006). Use of these fluids in small refrigeration machines, which currently use R-134a, offers the potential to improve energy performance. This article presents and analyzes results of experimental evaluations for typical vending systems.
