Options and outlook for chiller refrigerants.

Author(s) : CALM J. M.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The paper reviews the progression in refrigerants for chillers, from historical selections through current options and projections for the future. It examines the global environmental issues that catalyzed recent changes. It then discusses candidate refrigerants in the context of future availability (or phaseout) based on controls for environmental protection, efficiency, toxicity, flammability, and escalating future costs. The paper examines future refrigerant options for chillers. Noting that there are no ideal refrigerants and that none are likely to be found, it recommends scientific determination of acceptability rather than market manipulation.
