ABOUT THE REFRIGERANTS

After the Montreal Protocol, HFCs were developed as replacements for CFCs and HCFCs but are now themselves under threat on account of their high global warming potentials. There are opposite views and many hot debates about the present and future development in refrigeration and air conditioning regarding refrigerants. However, a mayor barrier is proper information regarding appliance of the natural refrigerants, behind are different interests from more interested sides.
This is especially expressed in developing countries where penetration of HCFC and HFC technologies is more intensive. It is necessary technical assistance, education and training for safe operation with natural refrigerants, introduction of demonstration projects and modernization of existing plants.

Natural refrigerants are win-win solutions for the climate and the ozone layer.
