Options for Low-GWP Refrigerants in Small Air-conditioning Systems
This paper, Winner of the J&E Hall Gold Medal award, summarises an examination of possible low-GWP (global warming potential) replacements for the HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants currently in use in small air-conditioning systems. It starts by providing a brief perspective on the environmental impacts of the HFC and other refrigerants and in the main discussion considers options for low-GWP fluids.
