Abstract

The choice of refrigerants with desirable combination of such properties as contribution to greenhouse effect, flammability, toxicity, thermodynamic behavior, performance specifications is one of the most important stages in retrofitting of R12 refrigerating systems to alternative refrigerants. Transitional blends (HCFC) as alternatives for R12 are considered. Multicriteria analysis of main best-selling replacement for CFC-12 applications is carried out. The advantages (better efficiency, better cooling capacity, compatibility with mineral oil) of FORANE FX56 (R409A) are discussed.
