Equipment for HCFC Solvents
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The use of the new HCFC solvents involves some design changes for equipment. These changes will achieve emission rates with HCFC solvents similar to those experienced with the present CFC solvents. New equipment designs are now available for HCFC solvents from several manufacturers. Modifications to existing equipment to allow HCFC solvent use have also proved feasible in many cases and offer another option for HCFC users.

Evaluation of HCFC Alternative Refrigerants
It is well-known that HCFC refrigerants widely used in today’s air conditioning and refrigeration (AC&R) industry will soon be phased out, mainly due to their ozone depletion potentials (ODPs) and global warming potentials (GWPs). The timetable established through international agreement and national legislation calls for a 65% reduction of HCFC consumption based on 1989 level by January 1, 201...
متن کاملGlobal and regional emission estimates for HCFC-22*
HCFC-22 (CHClF2, chlorodifluoromethane) is an ozone-depleting substance (ODS) as well as a significant greenhouse gas (GHG). HCFC-22 has been used widely as a refrigerant fluid in cooling and air-conditioning equipment since the 1960s, and it has also served as a traditional substitute for some chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) controlled under the Montreal Protocol. A low frequency record on troposph...
متن کاملEvaluation of Propane as an Alternative to HCFC-22 in Residential Applications
According to the results of the international testing program AREP, the most likely replacements for HCFC-22 refrigerant will be blends of HFCs. However, as concerns about their global warming potential increase, other options should also be considered. As a naturally occurring substance, propane would be an ideal refrigerant, except for its flammability. When dealing with a flammable refrigera...
متن کاملUsing hydrofluoroether solvents to replace HCFC-141b, Part II.
The use of hydrochlorofluocarbon (HFC) solvents is banned from the end of 2001. Part of this article assessed the merits of using hydrofluoroethers as replacement solvents. Alternatives to HFCs are more expensive. Part II looks at how to reduce the cost of conversion.
متن کاملAttenuation of fluorocarbons released from foam insulation in landfills.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have been used as blowing agents (BAs) for foam insulation in home appliances and building materials, which after the end of their useful life are disposed of in landfills. The objective of this project was to evaluate the potential for degradation of BAs in landfills, and to develop a landfill model, wh...
