Summary

THE AUTHOR CLARIFIES A NUMBER OF POINTS REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY AND SUITABILITY OF R123 AS A REFRIGERANT REPLACING R11 IN CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR SYSTEMS.

IT WILL PROBABLY BE OF EQUAL COST WITHIN A FEW YEARS AND HAS ONLY MILDLY POORER POTENTIAL SAFETY CLASSIFICATION. IT SHOULD THEREFORE BE A SUITABLE REFRIGERANT FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT TWENTY TO THIRTY YEARS. D.W.H.
