Global warming impacts of chillers.

Author(s) : CALM J. M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The author makes a thorough examination of the global warming impacts of using compression chillers with alternative refrigerants, or of switching to absorption technologies. Extending earlier work on the net global warming impact of refrigerants, the study uses a systems rather than a components approach. The findings give further evidence that once CFCs are phased out, measures such as improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions, are far more significant than the choice among refrigerants. The study also shows that direct-fired absorption chillers add more to global warming than do vapour-compression machines.
