Property, safety, and environmental data for alternative refrigerants.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

The paper presents tabular summaries of selected physical, safety, and environmental data for alternative refrigerants along with comparative data for those that have been or are being replaced. The alternatives include both those in commercial production or development and a number that are still being evaluated such as hydrofluoroethers and fluorinated amines. A second table presents the same data sorted by normal boiling points, to facilitate preliminary screening for specific applications. Additionally, the paper describes a large database, consisting of refrigerant profiles, compatibility and toxicity data summaries, and bibliographic references. It offers a means to locate thermodynamic and transport property, compatibility, performance, safety (flammability and toxicity), environmental, and other data on alternative refrigerants. It also addresses associated lubricants, retrofit procedures and experience, as well as test and analysis methods to quality refrigerants and refrigerant-lubricant combinations.
