  2. trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoro...

    trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze(E), R-1234ze(E)) is a hydrofluoroolefin. It was developed as a "fourth generation" refrigerant to replace fluids such as R-134a, as a blowing agent for foam and aerosol applications, and in air horns and gas dusters. [3] The use of R-134a is being phased out because of its high global warming ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refrigerants

    According to ASHRAE standard 34, the R-number of a chemical refrigerant is assigned systematically according to its molecular structure and has between two and four digits. If there are carbon-carbon multiple bonds, there are four digits in all: the number of these bonds is the first digit and the number of carbon atoms minus one (C-1) is next ...

    HFO-1234yf was developed by a team at DuPont, led by Barbara Haviland Minor, jointly with researchers at Honeywell. [8] [9] Their goal was to meet European directive 2006/40/EC, which went into effect in 2011 and required that all new car platforms for sale in Europe use a refrigerant in its AC system with a global warming potential (GWP) less than 150 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

  5. Vapor-compression refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Vapor-compression_refrigeration

    A representative pressure–volume diagram for a refrigeration cycle. Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles.

  6. Refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration

    Refrigeration is any of various types of cooling of a space, substance, or system to lower and/or maintain its temperature below the ambient one (while the removed heat is ejected to a place of higher temperature). [1] [2] Refrigeration is an artificial, or human-made, cooling method. [1] [2]

  7. R-410A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-410A

    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.

  8. Natural refrigerant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_refrigerant

    Refrigerants are typically evaluated on both their global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP).The GWP scale is standardized to carbon dioxide, where the refrigerant's value is the multiple of the heat that would be absorbed by the same mass of carbon dioxide over a period of time. [11]

  9. 2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-trifluo...

    2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane or HCFC-123 is considered as an alternative to CFC-11 in low pressure refrigeration and HVAC systems, and should not be used in foam blowing processes or solvent applications.
