Cyclopentane as blowing agent for rigid polyurethane foam in refrigerator insulation.

Author(s) : ADAMS S.

Summary

Germany, followed by other European countries, will continue to phase cyclopentane in as a replacement for R11. Its application is a legal problem in Japan, a technical (energy) and liability (flammable) issue in the US and may have other obstacles in Australia, Asia, and Africa. Since it has been successfully implemented in full production in Europe, these obstacles are being examined carefully to gage cyclopentane's potential implementation. For the US, the energy efficiency aspects, liability during manufacture, and reliability over long-term usage (aging) are the most critical issues.
