- the inventive heat transfer compositions can possess reduced global warming potential while providing good capacity and performance.
- Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC), widely used for these applications, are ozone depleting substances and are being phased out in accordance with guidelines of the Montreal Protocol.
- Hydrofluorocarbons are a leading replacement for CFCs and HCFCs in many applications. Though they are deemed “friendly" to the ozone layer they still generally possess high global warming potentials.
- HFC-based refrigerants have been developed to replace R-22, an HCFC refrigerant with ozone depletion potential (ODP).
- ODP ozone depletion potential
- GWP global warming potential
- R-404A and R-407A may have slightly higher refrigeration capacity (CAP) than R-22 under some conditions but have lower performance (COP);
- R-407C has slightly lower GWP but also lower CAP and COP in refrigeration applications; many other R-22 replacements have not only a higher GWP but lower CAP and COP.
- Figure 3 shows a comparison of the GWP of R-22 and several R-22 replacements.
- HFCs lack the miscibility with traditional lubricants, such as mineral oils, necessary to provide adequate performance.
- traditional lubricants such as mineral oils
- oxygenated lubricants such as polyol ester (POE) oils, polyalkylene glycol (PAG) oils, and polyvinyl ether (PVE) oils in place of mineral oils.

- a COP value of the refrigerant which is less than that of R-22 is suitable, if an increase in the consumption of electricity of the plant is accepted.
- condensation pressure indicates the stress exerted by the ref igerant on the corresponding mechanical parts of the refrigerating circuit.
- a refrigerant capable of replacing R-22 in a refrigeration system designed for the latter must not exhibit a condensation pressure significantly greater than that of R-22.
