Workshop on potential for hydrocarbon refrigerant replacements in existing domestic and small commercial appliances. Workshop report.
Date: 1900.01.01
Summary
This report of the UNEP workshop, held in Montreal, Canada, September 8, 1997, presents the results and conclusions of the discussion groups as well as the workshop presentations. The workshop was attended by 80 participants and included presentations of the survey and the case studies. It recommended that: further work be carried out on refrigerant/lubricant interactions; different types of products be tested by different organizations; training manuals should be developed on handling, which products to fit, and how to retrofit without losing product quality. The participants then split into three separate working groups to discuss technical, safety and market-related issues: group 1: performance, energy consumption, reliability; group 2: safety, liability, cost and availability; group 3: conditions for the implementation of HC-based refrigerant replacements in Article 5 countries.
