In this paper, Dewi Garcia will examine the current legislation on refrigerants and what existing and future impact this will have on the way refrigerants are used. He will review the journey that led us to this point and how the future is mapped out. He will discuss the various properties of the new range of refrigerants that are available and how these will influence our future choices both from a design and performance perspective. The paper will discuss the new range of HFOs and blends that are available and how the phase-down of the traditional HFC options will impact on the availability of these and drive the need for low GWP alternatives.
In this paper, Simon Pallant looks at the practical impact the new range of HFO refrigerants will have on the design and application of chillers and commercial heat-pumps, specifically in building services applications. How the drive for low GWP refrigerants has assisted the development of higher temperature heat-pumps directly leading to the electrification of heating becoming more achievable and commercially attractive. He will review how chiller design has evolved and how the new refrigerant future has contributed to this evolution. By understanding what the future holds with refrigerant choice will ensure that contractors and consultants have the support and knowledge available make the right choices now to future proof their projects.
