Author(s) : BUSH J., MITCHELL S.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

Changing rules around the use of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants have been one of the hottest topics in the HVAC&R industry in the last few years. Following the phaseout of ozone-depleting refrigerants starting in the 1990s, the U.S. EPA, acting under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, has recently changed the status of certain high GWP refrigerants. In the next several years, refrigerants such as R-404A, R-507A, R-134a, and others will be prohibited for use in some types of new or retrofit commercial refrigeration installations.
