So, the industry has been working on new, eco-friendly versions like HCFCs. In the HVAC industry, “Freon” is often used as a general term for refrigerant or cooling agent. While typically stable and non-flammable, these refrigerants can be mildly toxic and have a characteristic odour simil...
Now that HCFCs are being phased out, owners and managers are faced with the same decision: keep their current equipment and most likely pay higher premiums on refrigerant in the future, or move to chillers using HFC refrigerants such as R-134a or R-410A. 年份: 2009 ...
Used as a modern refrigerant, non-toxic hydrocarbons are an environmentally friendly alternative to CFC/HCFC/HFC fluorocarbons linked to ozone depletion and global warming. Hydrocarbons belong to the group of natural refrigerants and have a zero ODP and a negligible GWP. The relative cost of a ...
However, absorption refrigerators are far less energy-efficient than compressor fridges and have many operating restrictions. In some ways, absorption fridges are similar to their compressor-driven counterparts. Both rely on refrigerants with a low boiling point to operate. Unlike compressor refrigerators...
Trader Joe’s did not admit to any wrongdoing, but in 2016 it agreed to spend $2 million on corrective actions that included fixing its coolant leaks and opening a preset number of “Advanced Refrigeration Stores” by 2019 that replaced the old chemicals with less harmful refrigerants like CO2...

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are both synthetic compounds used as refrigerants. They share the similarity of being alternatives to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Difference Between HCFC and HFC Definition HCFCs (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons) are synthetic chemicals that contain hyd...
rnThe alternatives for the HCFCs,which are still in use,and the HFCs are the old refrigerants,substances like ammonia(R-717),the hydrocarbons(R-290,R-1270,R-600a),water(R-718)and CO_2(R-744).The selection criteria for refrigerants have to cover efficiency,safety,and environmental ...
The virgin HCFC refrigerants use ban in 2010 left end users with a five-year window of opportunity to execute their R22 exit strategy. Having reached the midway point with less than 30 months to go before a total ban, for many businesses there is still no strategy in place, despite the ...
