OVERVIEW OF CFC REPLACEMENT ISSUES FOR HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATION.

Author(s) : VINEYARD E., ROKE L., HALLETT F.

Summary

AS PART OF THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS OF THE ARTICLE 6 OF THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL, HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATION WAS INVESTIGATED TO DETERMINE THE STATUS OF R12 REPLACEMENTS. MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE TOWARDS FINDING A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT. COMPRESSORS DESIGNED FOR R134A HAVE COMPARABLE EFFICIENCIES TO R12 AND ACCEPTABLE RELIABILITY TESTS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED WITH ESTER LUBRICANTS. OTHER REPLACEMENTS EXIST BUT WILL REQUIRE MORE STUDY. CYCLE OPTIONS, SUCH AS THE STIRLING CYCLE, MAY BE VIABLE, BUT FURTHER OUT IN THEFUTURE.
