Summary
R600a has about half the leakage, pressure loss and condenser pressure and double the heat transfer coefficient of R12 and R134a. Future designs may take advantage of refrigerant properties to minimize energy consumption. They will likely use R600a for car air conditioners and below about 5 kilowatts capacity, R717 over 50 kilowatts and R290 in between.
