Insurance risk for hydrocarbon refrigerants in car air conditioners.

Author(s) : MACLAINE-CROSS I. L.

Summary

Hydrocarbon mixtures have environmental advantages and have successfully replaced R12 and R134a in over 200,000 US car air conditioners. On ten popular Australian cars, an extinguished propane torch detected ignition sources and carbon dioxide tracer measured volume and air flow for the passenger compartment. The insurance risk increment calculated from these measurements was negative because of the high cost of R12 repairs.
