Investigations of the environmental acceptability of fluorocarbon alternatives to chlorofluorocarbons.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are currently used in systems for preservation of perishable foods and medical supplies, increasing worker productivity and consumer comfort, conserving energy and increasing product reliability. As use of CFCs is phased out due to concerns of ozone depletion, a variety of new chemicals and technologies will be needed to serve these needs. In choosing alternatives, in...
متن کامل"Metered dose pressurized aerosols and the ozone layer".
The term "aerosol" has a precise scientific definition as liquid or solid particles suspended in air [1], but has in the last few decades acquired a new non-scientific meaning as a self-contained, sprayable product in which the propellant force is supplied by liquefied gas [2]. The propellants used in these aerosol canisters are of several types, namely: a) chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs); b) hydroc...
متن کاملHVAC Refrigerants: A Balanced Approach
In the early years, the primary focus of the HVAC industry was simply on finding a refrigerant that would provide effective cooling. Many of the early refrigerants such as sulfur dioxide, methyl chloride and ammonia met that objective but posed safety hazards due to their toxicity or high flammability potential. In the 1930s, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants were introduced as safe alterna...
متن کاملApplication of Hazard Based Model for Housing Location Based on Travel Distance to Work
Residential location choice modeling is one of the areas in transportation planning that attempts to examine households location search behavior incorporating their trade-offs between housing quality, prices or rents, distance to work and other key factors. This brings up the need to come up with methods to logically allocate credible choice alternatives for individuals.This article attempts to...
متن کاملInvestigation of Using Nonazeotropic Refrigerant Mixture as the Replacement for R12
This paper investigates the effects of nonazeotropic refrigerant mixtures (NARMs) as replacement of CFCs. The thermodynamic propert1es of NARM R22/R142b which is harmless to ozone layer are analyzed. The tests about water-to-water heat pump and dual-evaporator refrigerator-freezer using R22/R142b as alternative to R12 are introduced. The test results show R22/Rl42b is of energy conserving effec...
