Résumé

This paper compares the global warming impacts of large tonnage chillers for three low GWP refrigerant candidates based on Hydro-Fluoro-Olefins and the incumbent refrigerants they intend to replace. HFO-1234yf and XP10 are potential replacements for HFC-134a. Developmental refrigerant DR-2 is a potential replacement for HCFC-123. Four representative scenarios were examined defined according to the levels of electricity carbon intensity and refrigerant emissions. Under all scenarios, DR-2 would enable the lowest warming impact and electricity consumption among refrigerants not subject to phase-out. When a midpressure refrigerant is required to meet chiller size restrictions, HFO-1234yf and XP10 would enable warming impact reductions relative to HFC-134a, except in the case of simultaneously high electricity carbon intensity and low refrigerant emissions. HFO-1234yf would enable modestly or significantly lower warming impacts per chiller than XP10. XP10, however, could be adopted earlier and more widely than HFO-1234yf because XP10 could replace HFC-134a in existing chillers without extensive equipment and no safety code modifications. Moreover, XP10 consumes less electricity than HFO-1234yf to deliver a target cooling rate. Case studies are presented where the lowest warming impact is not necessarily achieved with the refrigerant with the lowest GWP, but one having a more advantageous combination of GWP and energy efficiency.
