Global Refrigerant Market Developments

• President Trump withdraws the United States from the Paris Accord
• HCFC’s like FREON R-22 are in completion of phaseout accords in most developed

nations

• New pressure to phaseout HFC’s in progressive developed countries. Led by the F-

Gas regulations in the European Union

• Major impediment to HFC phaseout schemes is lack of advanced refrigerants and

hardware infrastructure. HFO’s and HC’s are only potential solutions

• The next generation refrigerants have significant hurdles to mass adoption. Many

developed countries are looking for more realistic solutions such as low GWP HFC’s

• r flammable HC’s as alternatives

Glossary

AHRI: The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) is the trade association representing manufacturers of HVACR and water heating equipment within the global industry. ASHRAE: American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers

• ASHRAE develops standards for both its members and others professionally concerned with refrigeration processes and the design and maintenance of

indoor environments. ASHRAE writes standards for the purpose of establishing consensus for: 1) methods of test for use in commerce and 2) performance criteria for use as facilitators with which to guide the industry.

ECU: Environmental Control Units EER: Energy Efficiency Ratio

• Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of a particular cooling device is the ratio of output cooling energy (in BTU) to input electrical energy (in Wh) at a given
• perating point.
• EER is generally calculated using a 95 °F outside temp and an inside (actually return air) temp of 80 °F and 50% relative humidity.

GWP: Global warming potential

• GWP is a relative measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere. It compares the amount of heat trapped by a certain mass of

the gas in question to the amount of heat trapped by a similar mass of carbon dioxide.

• A GWP is calculated over a specific time interval, commonly 20, 100, or 500 years. GWP is expressed as a factor of carbon dioxide (whose GWP is

standardized to 1).

HC: Hydrocarbon - an elementary compound of hydrogen and carbon which occurs naturally and is found in large concentrations in crude oil.

• Used as a modern refrigerant, non-toxic hydrocarbons are an ecofriendly alternative to the CFC/HCFC/HFC fluorocarbons linked to ozone damage.
• Though a range of HCs have refrigerant applications, isobutane (R600a) is the HC most frequently found in domestic fridges and freezers, whilst propane

(R290) is common in commercial heat pump-, air conditioning-, refrigeration- and freezer applications.

• HCs are flammable, propane (R290) is in general use for cooking and heating, and thus the necessity for the application of standard practices for the safe

handling and deployment of such materials is recognized and accepted by all users.

IPT: Integrated Planning Team HCFC: Chlorodifluoromethane or difluoromonochloromethane is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC).

• This colorless gas is better known as HCFC-22, or R-22. It is commonly used as a propellant and refrigerant. These applications are being phased out in developed countries due to the

compound's ozone depletion potential (ODP) and high global warming potential (GWP), although global use of R-22 continues to increase because of high demand in developing countries.[2] R-22 is a versatile intermediate in industrial organofluorine chemistry, e.g. as a precursor to tetrafluoroethylene.

HFC: Hydrofluorocarbons are organic compounds that contain fluorine and hydrogen atoms, are the most common type of organofluorine compounds.

• They are commonly used in air conditioning and as refrigerants [4] in place of the older chlorofluorocarbons such as R-12 and hydrochlorofluorocarbons such as R-21. They do not

harm the ozone layer as much as the compounds they replace; however, they do contribute to global warming. Their atmospheric concentrations and contribution to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly increasing, causing international concern about their radiative forcing.

HFO: hydrofluoroolefin with the formula CH2=CFCF3.

• This colorless gas has been proposed as a replacement for R-134a as a refrigerant in automobile air conditioners.
• HFO-1234yf is the first in a new class of refrigerants acquiring a global warming potential (GWP) rating one 335th that of R-134a (and only 4 times higher than carbon dioxide, which

can also be used as a refrigerant but which has properties significantly different from those of R134a, especially requiring operation at around 5 times higher pressure) and an atmospheric lifetime of about 400 times shorter.

SEER: Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio

• The efficiency of air conditioners is often rated by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) which is defined by the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute in its 2008

standard AHRI 210/240, Performance Rating of Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump Equipment.[1] A similar standard is the European seasonal energy efficiency ratio (ESEER).

• The SEER rating of a unit is the cooling output during a typical cooling-season divided by the total electric energy input during the same period. The higher the unit's SEER rating the

more energy efficient it is.
