Author(s) : BEETON W., BUYNACEK B., MONNIER K.

Type of monograph: Booklet

Summary

With the phase-out of R22, system manufacturers are forced to choose new HFC refrigerants that eliminate the harmful chlorine, while offering the best system efficiency possible. This report discusses the factors that Emerson Climate Technologies feels are most important for meeting this challenge. It starts with a brief introduction and background and then focuses on environmental drivers and a regulatory update. Next come the criteria for refrigerant selection, followed by a presentation of transitional refrigerants (HCFCs), chlorine-free refrigerants (HFCs), halogen-free refrigerants and lubricants. After pointing out responsible-use principles, the authors propose a future direction and offer a glossary of terms, as well as an appendix with suggestions for further information on the subject. The report can be downloaded from: www.emersonclimate.com/images/pdf/6051-R410A%20WhtPaper_9.pdf.
