EFCTC COMMENT ON TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION AND THE REQUIREMENT FOR NON-FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS

November N Transport Refrigeration shutterstock_274921172 

Flammability risks are a main concern, along with energy efficiency and reliability, for transport applications and affect current and future refrigerant choices. Non-flammable HFCs continue to be widely used and lower GWP non-flammable alternatives such as HFC/HFO blends are being used or developed as replacements in some applications. R-744 (CO2) has inferior energy performance at…

ALL ELECTRIC DELIVERY VANS USE HFC-134a REFRIGERATION UNITS FOR URBAN DELIVERIES

The new car-derived refrigerated vans, equipped with the all-electric refrigeration system using non-flammable HFC-134a, support plans to comply with the tightening emissions legislation. The all-electric refrigeration system was selected as the ideal choice to create a zero-emissions electric vehicle with enough range to carry out most urban delivery operations. The roof-mounted, 12-volt refrigeration unit has…

NON-FLAMMABLE HFC/HFO REFRIGERANTS APPROVED FOR USE IN BUS AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

A European manufacturer has announced approval for the use of non-flammable R-513A and R-450A as lower GWP alternatives to R-134a in its bus air conditioning systems. With the alternative refrigerants, the system delivers a virtually identical performance and have the same safety classification as R-134a (Class A1). Refrigerant R-513A is an azeotrope and has a…
