Natural refrigerants as the substitute for CFC-HFC refrigerants in vapour compression refrigeration units: a review.

Author(s) : MOHANRAJ M., MURALEEDHARAN C., JAYARAJ S.

Summary

Most vapour-compression refrigeration systems in India still continue to utilize CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, which have favorable thermophysical properties. CFC and HFC refrigerants have adverse environmental impacts such as ozone depletion (ODP) and global warming (GWP). In order to meet the objectives of the international protocols (Montreal and Kyoto), and also to satisfy the needs of growing demand of these substances for various applications, continuous efforts are taking place, around the world, to implement alternative, eco-friendly refrigerants. An attempt is made in the paper to review the important experimental and theoretical work carried out around the world with these natural refrigerants. In addition, the safety and scope of the natural refrigerants are also discussed.
