Summary

To protect the ozone layer, the USA, 23 other nations, and the European Economic Communi ty on 16 September, 1987, signed the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. This is a landmark international agreement designed to control the product ion and consumption o f certain chlorofluoroc a rbon (CFC) and halon compounds . Refrigeration and air conditioning accounts for over 35 % of all CFC end uses in the USA. Refrigeration engineers have quickly and responsibly moved forward in their efforts to protect the ozone layer. This Pape r briefly describes the proposed international and domestic regulation, the engineering and commercialization accomplishments to date, and outlines the tasks still before us.
