Seminar 06 -- Building a Sustainable Future by Removing Barriers for Low GWP Refrigerants PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

With increasing concern about climate change and the potential long term impact of high global warming HFC refrigerant use, the potential to use low GWP refrigerant options is increasing in importance. To achieve low GWP, tradeoffs in flammability, pressure, toxicity and other characteristics need to be considered to understand which options have the best potential in specific applications. Also, improved property data is required for low GWP refrigerants to assist with system design from a performance and safety standpoint. Safety codes and standards also need to be assessed and potentially upgraded to include a new class of low flammability refrigerants.
