Concerns about the impact of refrigerants on climate change are driving new regulatory policies to restrict and lower the global warming potential (GWP) impact of fluorocarbon refrigerants used in the HVAC&R industry. In response, the industry is developing and examining a new class of lower GWP refrigerants, many of which are flammable. As this transition moves forward, many questions exist about changing to flammable refrigerants options and requirements to use them safely. This seminar highlights research into important considerations unique to flammable refrigerants, that engineers, designers and building owners should keep in mind regarding next-generation refrigerants.
