Summary

The impact on global warming by the refrigerant of a car air-conditioning system is not negligible. A lot of vehicle manufactures are now developing the countermeasure of this. In Europe, from 2011, the F-gas ban will start in new design vehicles, and from 2017, every vehicle can not use refrigerants with a large GWP (over 150). The countermeasures are as follows: 1) smaller GWP of refrigerant; 2) charge amount reduced; 3) leak amount should be decreased; and 4) higher efficiency of AC systems. In these methods, there are benefits and demerit. Remained issues are introduced in this paper.
