Résumé

The environmental issues of ozone depletion and global warming have considerably affected the refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump industry over the last 10 years. The Montreal Protocol has caused the refrigeration industry to introduce newly developed hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) as substitutes for the chlorine-containing, ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This process for new systems has been finalized in industrialized countries and is ongoing in developing countries. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), such as R22, have much lower ozone-depleting potential (ODP) and will be phased out within the next 20 years worldwide. However, national regulations require a much earlier phase-out date, especially in Europe. Therefore, chlorine-free HFCs will replace chlorine-containing refrigerants in the marketplace.
