THE CFCL PROBLEM. A STRATEGY TO REDUCE ATMOSPHERIC RELEASE.

Author(s) : LORENTZEN G.

Summary

THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL, SIGNED IN SEPTEMBER 1987, WILL HAVE A CONSIDERABLE INFLUENCE ON THE REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY. THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF SYSTEMS USING HALOGENS WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CARE, AND IT WILL BE NECESSARY PROGRESSIVELY TO USE LESS NOXIOUS REFRIGERANTS. IT WILL ALSO BE NECESSARY TO CONSIDER FIRSTLY THE FIELDS FOR WHICH THE LIMITATIONS WILL BE THE MOST EFFICIENT. AMONGST THEM, ONE CAN CITE AUTOMOBILE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS AND SOME FIXED INSTALLATIONS AS WELL AS LARGE HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS. BY CONTRAST, EMISSIONS FROM THE FOOD INDUSTRY AND THE PRODUCTION OF FROZEN FOODSTUFFS ARE RATHER LOW (ABOUT 2-3%), AND DRASTIC MEASURES IN THESE FIELDS ARE NOT REALLY JUSTIFIED.
