Energy and global warming impacts of not-in-kind and next generation CFC and HCFC alternatives. TEWI phase II: draft final report.

Author(s) : FISCHER S. K., TOMLINSON J. J., HUGHES P. J.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

Alternative chemicals and technologies have been proposed as substitutes for CFCs, HCFCs and the use of the vapour compression cycle for refrigeration and air conditioning and plastic foam for building and appliance insulation. Among these alternatives are: HFCs which have zero ozone depleting potential for use in conventional compression systems and as blowing agents for plastic foam insulation; hydrocarbons and CO2 as refrigerants and foam blowing agents; ammonia compression systems; Stirling cycle refrigeration using hydrogen or helium; absorption and adsorption heat pumping cycles using ammonia-water, water-lithium bromide, ammonia and activated carbon, ammoniated salts; magnetic and thermoelectric refrigeration; evacuated panel insulation; and malone cycle refrigeration. The report examines the current status of each of these technologies and their potential as alternatives to the existing technologies based on CFCs and HCFCs. In addition, the total global warming impacts (TEWI) are evaluated.
