As a refrigerant, it is designated R-1234yf [1] and marketed under the names Opteon YF by Chemours and as Solstice YF by Honeywell. [3] R-1234yf is also a component of zeotropic refrigerant blend R-454B. HFO-1234yf has a GWP less than carbon dioxide, [4] [2] itself 1,430 times less potent than R-134a. [5]
For example, R-22 has one carbon atom, one hydrogen atom (2−1 = 1), two fluorine atoms, and one chlorine atom (4−2−1 = 1), so it is chlorodifluoromethane, while R-134 has two carbon atoms (2−1 = 1), two hydrogen atoms (3−1 = 2), four fluorine atoms, and no chlorine atoms (6−2−4 = 0), so it is one of the tetrafluoroethanes. This ...
The use of R-134a is being phased out because of its high global warming potential (GWP). HFO-1234ze(E) itself has zero ozone-depletion potential (ODP=0), a very low global warming potential (GWP < 1 ), even lower than CO 2, and it is classified by ANSI/ASHRAE [4] as class A2L refrigerant (lower flammability (see below) and lower toxicity). [5]
Thanks to the low GWP value, it fulfils the requirements of EU regulation 517/2014 on refrigerants for new systems even without the certificate of exemption otherwise necessary. Systems using the refrigerant R-469A up to 3.6 kg filling quantity are exempt from the Leak test in accordance with EU regulation 517/2014.

However, like methane, R-410A has a global warming potential (GWP) that is appreciably worse than CO 2 (GWP = 1) for the time it persists. R-410A is a mixture of 50% HFC-32 and 50% HFC-125. HFC-32 has a 4.9 year lifetime and a 100-year GWP of 675 and HFC-125 has a 29-year lifetime and a 100-year GWP of 3500.
1-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFO-1233zd) is the unsaturated chlorofluorocarbon with the formula HClC=C(H)CF 3.The compound exists as E- (cis-) and Z- (trans-) isomers.The trans-isomer of this colorless gas is of interest as a more environmentally friendly (lower GWP; global warming potential) refrigerant in air conditioners.
