Résumé

Flammable refrigerants such as HFC-32 and blends of HFC-32/134a have been proposed as HCFC-22 alternatives, due to concerns about the ozone depletion and global warming. Hydrocarbons such as propane have also been proposed and used as alternatives in a few cases, but to date their use has been limited as they are much more flammable than HFC-32. Therefore, in order to better understand the risks of the range of flammable refrigerants, a risk assessment focusing on marginally flammable refrigerants such as HFC-32 was performed, as such materials may be accepted even if hydrocarbons are deemed to be too hazardous.
