Author(s) : CAVALLINI A., CENSI G., DEL COL D., et al.

Summary

Recently, attention has been focused on the global warming issue. Air conditioners and heat pumps contribute to global warming both by the release of refrigerants and by the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in powering the equipment. The paper examines advantages and disadvantages of the leading HCFC-22 replacements (among the HFC refrigerants), which are all based on various combinations of HFC-134a, HFC-32 and HFC-125.
