Physical, safety, and environmental data for current and alternative refrigerants.

Number: pap. ID: 915

Author(s) : CALM J. M., HOURAHAN G. C.

Summary

This paper summarizes key physical, safety, and environmental data for refrigerants including those widely used historically, in common use today, and under consideration for future use. The text outlines the progression through successive generations of refrigerants. Two tables, one sorted by standard designations to facilitate location of specific refrigerants and the second sorted by normal boiling points, present data for 284 refrigerants, many of them blends. The paper explains the tabulated parameters and identifies the data sources used. Additional tables contrast the latest scientific data with corresponding regulatory values. The authors have published similar summaries in the past, on approximately a four-year cycle, to support international assessments and other studies. The successive updates accommodate both new fluids and new or refined data. This version adds approximately 100 refrigerants, among them – though not yet in use except testing by component and equipment manufacturers – unsaturated fluorochemicals and briefly discusses blends containing them.
