Summary

BECAUSE R123 ATTACKS THE WINDING INSULATION AT PRESENT IN GENE RAL USE ON HERMETIC CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR MOTORS, ONE COMPANY HAS INTRODUCED A RANGE OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS CLOSE COUPLED TO OPEN TYPE MOTORS. THESE ARE AVAILABLE AS PACKAGED WATER CHILLERS. THEY CAN BE USED EITHER WITH R11 OR R123. IN THIS WAY R123 CAN BECOME A SATISFACTORY SUBSTITUTE FOR R11. ITS OZONE DEPLETION AND GLOBAL WARMING FACTORS ARE BOTH 0.02, COMPARED WITH 1.0 FOR R11. AN ALLOWABLE EXPOSURE LIMIT OF 100 PPM IS PRACTICAL, AND A LOW FLAMMABILITY PLACES IT IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS R22. D.W.H.
