APPLIANCE PUR; LOW CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT SOLUTION

摘要

Honeywell has developed a preliminary construct for a highly energy efficient refrigerator utilizing ultra low global warming potential (GWP less than 15) materials, in the manner of blowing agent for the polyurethane foam insulation and the refrigerant working fluid. On a global basis, the industry, individual government regulators, and NGOs, are continually striving for a low environmental impact energy solution across all energy consuming applications, including household refrigerators. This preliminary solution outlines the climate change impact imparted from, not only indirect contribution (energy consumption), but also the direct contribution to climate change from the associated raw materials utilized in manufacture of household refrigerators. The solution description will characterize the energy consumption performance, the manufacturing considerations in a modern refrigerator factory, and the risks associated with flammability perspective in manufacturing and consumer use.
