Development of Low-GWP Refrigerants for Future Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Applications
Abstract: The growing concern over global warming and the need to mitigate climate change has propelled significant research into the development of low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Traditional refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), have been widely used in the HVAC&R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) industry but contribute significantly to global warming due to their high GWP values. As a result, global regulations, including …
