Total equivalent warming impact: a measure of the global warming impact of CFC alternatives in refrigerating equipment.

Author(s) : FISCHER S. K.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The Montreal Protocol and recent revisions require a rapid phase-out of the production and use of CFCs and a transition to alternative materials and technologies, without global warming impact. A study was conducted to evaluate the total global warming impact of proposed alternatives to CFCs. The paper focuses on refrigeration and air-conditioning aspects. The TEWI concept is developed as a measure of the combined impacts of refrigerants and CO2 emissions released by the different driving energies. Equipment using alternatives to CFCs has lower TEWIs than current systems.
