Summary

AFTER A SURVEY OF THE ISSUES OF OZONE LAYER DEPLETION AND GLOBAL WARMING THE AUTHORS ANALYZE THE PROBLEM OF REPLACING R12 IN HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATORS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT.R134A, R152A AND R717 (AMMONIA), ALL HARMLESS TO STRATOSPHERIC OZONE, ARE REGARDED AS POSSIBLE SUBSTITUTES FOR R12. BOTH R134A AND R152A RESULT IN GREATER ENERGY CONSUMPTION THAN R12, WHEREAS R717 LEADS TO ENERGY SAVINGS. EVEN WITH R134AOR R152A, IN SPITE OF GREATER CO2 EMISSIONS DURING THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE APPLIANCE (30,000 HOURS OF COMPRESSOR OPERATION), THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IS REDUCED DUE TO THE LOWER GWP (GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL) OF THE ALTERNATIVE FLUIDS.
