Prospects and problems of application of hydrocarbons as refrigerants

Abstract

The prospects and problems of use of hydrocarbons in different types of refrigerating equipment have been considered. It is shown that in the evaluation of usefulness of transition of refrigerating equipment on fire hazard refrigerants one should take into consideration additional energy expenditure for the whole service life of the equipment, as well as the ecological aspects of its increased energy consumption.
