Atmospheric treaties and replacement refrigerants for vapour compression systems.

Author(s) : MACLAINE-CROSS I.

Summary

Refrigerant gases have many other uses, which taken to extremes, cause environmental effects like global warming and attract restrictions like the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols. Customs records and manufacturers' data show Australian 1999/2000 refrigerant consumption was about 7400 Mg and increasing. All gases in all applications should expect economically rational restriction before 2005, which implies a price increase for refrigerants in Australia of about 4.6 cents/kg GWP or USD59/kg for R134a.
