ShareThe conversion of German household-appliance refrigeration industry from CFC's to hydrocarbons and fluorohydrocarbons in 1993.
Author(s) : LOTZ H.
Summary
The replacement of CFCs with hydrocarbons in Germany has been driven by global warming potentials of halogenated chemicals and Blue Angel Certification. Technical obstacles remain energy efficiency and safety concerns in products with exposed heat exchangers. The implementation of hydrocarbons as refrigerants in household refrigerators and freezers in Germany is currently limited to those with evaporator coils imbedded in the foam insulation in walls.
