Summary

Losses of the order of 30 to 50% per year by leakages are more the rule than the exception in refrigeration plants other than those in the home. An important environmental protection agency in the Netherlands foresees that in the medium term quite a few elements in the design of refrigeration plants will need to be changed. As for the refrigerants, halogenated compounds such as CFCs, will have to be abandoned. Substances such as helium, CO2 and possibly also LPG, ammonia and R152, have been compared with the halogenated compounds and found to be more advantageous to the environment.
