Summary

Concerns over the flammability of propane overlook the fact that appropriate technical solutions are available to reduce risks. Closer examination makes clear that none of the leading contenders for the role of substitute combines so many favorable characteristics as does propane. In economically and technically complex applications involving heat pumps, R22 and R502 have been the preferred agents because of their relatively high volumetric cooling capacity. This is the most important of the many characteristics which a viable substitute will be expected to possess.
