Which refrigerant replaces next R410A?

written by Pavel Makhnatch (under supervision of Rahmatollah Khodabandeh and Björn Palm)

Published Nov 03, 2013

Apart from mobile air conditioning systems, a number of heat pump and refrigeration applications are still missing good low-GWP refrigerant, which is capable to replace high-GWP ones used today. In this article we review the efforts in development of new low-GWP refrigerants with focus on refrigerant mixtures.
