Integrating Chinese Technology with American Ideals

Drop in Refrgerant
Safe and Friendly to Environment

Introduction

The production and use of CFC-12 was prohibited from 1996 in developed countries, and it will be prohibited from 2006 in the developing countries in accordance with the Montreal Protocol. The alternatives (such as HFC-134a and Hydrocarbon, etc.)proposed to replace CFC-12 all require physical retrofit of production lines, equipment (such as compressors), and/or new lubricants to accommodate them.

Furthermore, environmental and safety problems still emerge from some of the alternatives mentioned above. The employment of HFC-134a has a negative reaction on the greenhouse effect (GWP=1300, 100 years).Hydrocarbon is flammable even though it has quite good thermophysical properties and thermal performance.

Our Technology

The alternative refrigerant THR02 is a near-azeotropic three-component mixture.

This mixture THR02 has the following advantages relative to CFC-12

Benefits of this Technology

The ODP is zero for THR02, but that for CFC-12 is 1 The Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is an index which compares the ozone depletion effect relative to CFC-12.

The GWP is less than 50 for THR02, but that for CFC-12 is 8500. Global Warming Potential (GWP) is an index which compares the warming effect over time of different gases relative to equal emission of CO₂ (by weight).
