HFC-123 high-efficiency low-emission chillers.

Author(s) : BROWN T.

Summary

The low-pressure HCFC-123 multi-stage centrifugal chiller cycle COP is 5 to 6% higher than medium or high pressure cycles. Since energy-efficiency improvements are key factors in reducing CO2 emissions caused by electric power generation or the burning of fossil fuels, today's HCFC-123 multi-stage centrifugal design is instrumental in helping to reduce the effects of global warming. Refrigerant leaks (direct emissions) are pressure dependent; as a result, refrigerant containment is easier to accomplish in an HCFC-123 low-pressure centrifugal design.
