Comparative efficiencies and implications for greenhouse gas emissions of chiller refrigerants.

Author(s) : CALM J. M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This paper summarises analyses of refrigerant options for chillers. It presents tabulated global warming potentials and other environmental data for candidate refrigerants. The paper discusses briefly the historic progression in refrigerant release reductions and presents analyses to compare the efficiencies of historic and current refrigerant options. The 28 refrigerants addressed include chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), hydrocarbon (HC) and inorganic (such as ammonia) fluids. The paper finally discusses the relative importance of the refrigerant-related and energy-related components of chiller emissions.
