Choosing a building chiller.

Summary

The paper answers critical questions about one specific aspect of the CFC issue, the use of the alternative refrigerant R123 in centrifugal chillers: 1) have the R123 refrigerant compatibility issues been solved; 2) is R123 commercially available; 3) if R123 is available, what is the price; 4) is R123 safe to use and handle; 5) how can microprocessor-based technology improve the safety of all refrigerants; 6) what is the status of phaseout schedules for CFCs and HCFCs; 7) what effect will increased emphasis on global warming have on the refrigerant issue.
