What is refrigerant?

from ASHRAE Fundamentals Chapter 16

Refrigerant

� the vital working fluid in refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat pumping systems.

� absorbs heat from one area, such as an air-conditioned space, and rejects it into another, such as outdoors, usually through evaporation and condensation process, respectively.

�Common refrigerant in HVAC industry are fluorocarbonssubstance

Refrigerant history

Which year is the invention of Refrigeration Cycle?(The FIRST Vapor Compression Cycle in the World)

A. 1698B. 1834 C. 1892

In 1698, Englishman Mr. Thomas Savery invented the First practical STEAM ENGINE.

In 1892, German Mr. Karl Diesel invented the First DIESEL ENGINE

Answer is (B). First practical refrigerating machine was built by Jacob Perkins in 1834

Refrigerant history

Historical perspective

• 1830 to 1930s – 1st generation “Whatever it works”

• 1931 to 1990s – 2nd generation “Safety & Durability”

• 1990 to 2010s – 3rd generation “Ozone protection”

• 2010s to … – 4nd generation “Global warming”

What impacts do refrigerants have on the environment?

Indirect Environmental Impact

Up to 95% of a typical chiller’s global warming potential is CO2 created by energy consumption

Page 11: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

What is the best overall environmental solution?

Page 12: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

ASHRAE Recommendation

“American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) supports

overall environmentally balanced solutions to atmospheric concerns. Actions taken to secure low or zero ozone-depleting solutions at the expense of

energy efficiency would not represent a balanced approach.”

Position Statement and Paper on

“Ozone Depleting Substance”Approved by ASHRAE Board of Directors

Page 13: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

Industry Refrigerant Commitment

Dedicated to applying science to find best balance

– Zero/Low Ozone depletion

– Low Global warming

– High Energy efficiency

– Short Atmospheric life

– Minimizing refrigerant emission

Focus on gaining confidence in global availability on all of today’s refrigerants

– Customers looking for assurances

– History helps clarify future: post-phase-out experience

Page 14: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

Years ago the industry onlyfocused on ozone depletion

Industry Message Delivered in 1991Balance Environmental Outlook Required, Not a Singular Issue

Trane declared ozone depletion, global warming, and energy efficiency as all being equally important

As stated in 1991 Trane Article for HPAC Magazine.

Environment & Social Responsibility

• Offering the right refrigerant in the right product at the right time• Trane’s policy today is the same as it was in the 1980’s

Increasing threats to HFCs?

Page 30: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

• HFCs with comparatively higher GWPs(R-134a, R-410A, R-407C) are banned in Europefor mobile air conditioning beginning in new car models in 2011, and all car models in 2017

• European countries such as Denmark, Austria, and Switzerland have already banned the use of HFC’s.

• Refrigerant manufacturers are aggressively working to develop a new generation of lower GWP refrigerants (HFO’s) to replace current generation of HFC’s (R-134a, R-410A, R-407C)

• USA efforts with “cap and trade” legislation, such as the Waxman-Markey bill would reduce the production of HFC’s to 85% below 2005 levels by the year 2033

• UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) and the Kyoto Protocol aim to reduce production of HFC’s over the coming years

Hong Kong, alongside 20 other Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) economies, has set a target to achieve areduction in carbon footprint of at least 25% by 2030 (with 2005 as the base year).

Increasing Global Threats to the HFC’s

Key Suggestions:

Supply Side: Nuclear Energy

Demand Side: End-use Energy Efficiency(The Fastest, Cheapest & Most Effective Method!)

Page 34: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

In Hong Kong, the Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance (Cap. 610)had been enacted in November 2010

Two subsidiary regulations under the Ordinance, namely

Buildings Energy Efficiency (Fees) Regulation (Cap. 610A) and Buildings Energy Efficiency (Registered Energy Assessors) Regulation (Cap. 610B) had also been enacted in March 2011

The Ordinance will come into full operation on 21 September 2012.

The core parts (Parts 2 to 6) of the Ordinance are now within the grace

period.

Increasing Global Threats to the HFC’s

Page 35: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

Guidelines To Account For And Report On Greenhouse Gas Emissions And Removals For Buildings In Hong Kong

• For compliance of ISO 14064-1

• HFC and PFC are commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning sectors, are

GHGs with global warming potentials (GWP) much higher than that of carbon dioxide.

Therefore, uncontrolled release of these gases into atmosphere may have significant

potential impact on climate change.

Which Refrigerant Do I Pick???

Balanced Approach with a Focus on Efficiency

First, you must answer…

What are the real factorsover the life of a chiller?

Cost of Electricity 94.5%

First Cost of Chiller 5.18%

Cost of Initial Refrigerant 0.25%

Cost of Lifetime Refrigerant Supply 0.04%

1. There are no perfect refrigerants

2. A balanced approach to environmental impact is important

3. R-22, R-123, R-134a, R-410a and 407c are all responsible HVAC refrigerant choices…Today

4. Cost of refrigerants will increase significantly

What does this mean?

Page 41: Trane 3 Green Refrigerant

• There are global pressures on the use of all fluorocarbons

• The balanced approach to refrigerant selection is the best way to protect the environment

– Ozone depletion

– Global warming

– Energy efficiency

– Short atmospheric life

– Low pressure (low tendency for leakage)

• For both environmental and economic benefit, focus on

the highest possible energy efficiency and the lowest

possible refrigerant emissions

The latest assessment report from the Refrigeration, A/C and Heat Pumps Technical Options Committee (RTOC), contains a great quote. The assessment is part of the United Nations

Environment Programme (UNEP) review pursuant to Article 6 of the Montreal Protocol.

“8.4.2.7 Environmental Evaluation for Retention of HCFC-123

as a Refrigerant for Centrifugal Chillers”

“Refrigerant HCFC-123 has a favorable overall impact on the environment that is attributable to five factors:

(1) a low ODP (2) a very low GWP(3) a very short atmospheric lifetime

(4) the extremely low emissions of current designs for R-123 chillers(5) the highest efficiency of all current options

Based on integrated assessments, considering the tradeoffs between

negligible impacts on stratospheric ozone and important benefits in addressing global warming, these studies recommend consideration of a phase-out exemption for HCFC-123.”
