Selection of refrigerants on a per-application basis: trends.

Tendances dans le choix des frigorigènes selon les applications.

Type of article: Article

Summary

There is no general rule for the selection of refrigerants. There are, of course, the five classic criteria: thermophysical, technological and economic aspects, safety and environment; however, in addition to these criteria, others have to be considered: local regulations and standards and cultural criteria associated with professions, applications, customs and education. The best approach when presenting evolution and trends is certainly the per-application approach.
