Summary

The US Navy used approximately 1 million kilograms of R12, 200,000 kilograms of R114 and 50,000 kilograms of R11 in calendar year 1990. These CFCs are mostly used as refrigerants in shipboard air conditioning and refrigeration plants, and in critical applications like cooling of vital shipboard sensors, communications, navigation and weapon systems. A potential substitute for R12 in air conditioning and refrigeration plants is R134a. The paper presents Navy R134a investigation results to date, planned qualification tests, and future shipboard R134a air conditioning plant designs.
