Author(s) : GOETZLER W., BURGOS J., SUTHERLAND T.

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

Concerns about the global warming potential (GWP) of fluorocarbon refrigerants have stimulated interest in low-GWP refrigerants, including carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia, hydrocarbons, and low flammability refrigerants that meet ASHRAE Standard 34-2007 criteria for A2L status. However, these refrigerants face many regulatory barriers, limiting their widespread adoption. Flammability and toxicity are two key issues.
