The effect of blowing agents on energy use and climate impact of a refrigerator.
Author(s) : JOHNSON R. W., BOWMAN J.
Type of article: Periodical article
Summary
The phase-out of CFC-11 as a foam-blowing agent, as called for under the Montreal Protocol, is well underway. The most common replacements with zero ozone depletion potential have been c-pentane and mixtures of c-pentane with other hydrocarbons, along with some HFCs, including HFC-134a and HFC-245fa.
