| Chemicals being marketed as dominate replacements to ozone depleting HCFCs are HFCs (hydrofluoric). These man made gases may be benign to the ozone layer, but they are extremely potent greenhouse gases - often more so than HCFCs they are set to replace. This is where Hydrocarbons make a difference. more |
HCs give a superior coefficient of performance (COP) - the measure of refrigeration system efficiency - because of specific characteristics. Improvements greater than five per cent can be achieved with the use of HCs over fluorocarbon refrigerants. more |
