Alternative Lower GWP Refrigerants for HFC-134a in Intermodal Refrigerated Containers

摘要

HFC-134a is used as the refrigerating fluid in many of the world’s intermodal refrigerated containers. Compared to some refrigerants the GWP is relatively low, however alternatives exist with a significantly lower GWP. Normalised data is presented comparing the performance of a refrigerant with the GWP of around half that of HFC-134a and another with a GWP below 150.
