ozone layer forced scheduledphaseouts of ozone-depletingrefrigerants, among them chlo-rofluorocarbons (CFCs), suchas R-12, and—in the future—also hydrochlorofluorocarbons(HCFCs), such as R-22. Themeasures also addressed similar

chemicals for other applications, such as manywidely used aerosol propellants, foam blowingagents, fire suppression agents (notably halons), and

solvents. The third-generation shift tohydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and otherrefrigerants for ozone protection was per-ceived as a long-term solution, butgrowing awareness of climate change as

The history of refrigerants, since the intro-duction of mechanical vapor-compressionrefrigeration in the 1830s, comprises four

periods characterized by the dominant selection cri-teria beyond basic suitability.Figure 1 summarizes four dis-tinct generations and identifieskey refrigerant groups or criteriafor them.

Most refrigerants in the firstgeneration, a period of approxi-mately 100 years, were solvents,fuels, or other volatile fluids familiar to early practi-tioners from other uses, essentially whatever worked.Broad commercialization of domestic refrigerators

a more significant—or at least muchmore challenging—environmental issuenow heralds a looming fourth generationto address global warming. This term is abit misleading, as the impacts of climatechange include warming in most regionsbut cooling in some (for example, inparts of Europe). It also includes sea levelrise and attendant coastal land loss,changes in growing seasons and soilmoisture retention (and, therefore, cropyields), and spread of diseases such asmalaria now nearly localized to equato-rial regions. In short, global climatechange may impact virtually all aspects oflife and raises significant internationaland intergenerational equity issues.

Interestingly, some of the fluids con-sidered “natural refrigerants” (primarilyammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrocar-bons, and water) in the first generationare being re-examined to replace “syn-thetic refrigerants” (primarily fluoro-chemicals) because of environmentalconcerns. Many of the claims and coun-terclaims for such fluids are more emo-tional or marketing-based than technical.

Most of the safety, durability, and per-formance issues that drove early refriger-ant shifts remain concerns today, compli-cated by focus on low ozone depletionpotential (ODP), low global warmingpotential (GWP), short atmospheric life-time (τatm), and, perhaps most impor-tantly, high efficiency. There are linkagesthat force trade-offs among these criteria,but none of them can be ignored.1

Manufacturers have commercializedmore than 30 new refrigerants in the pastdecade, and they are examining addi-tional candidates. Most new refrigerantsare blends, because the options for suit-able single-compound refrigerants aremuch more limited and generally alreadyexploited. Users should expect a numberof additional introductions as the phase-out approaches for R-22, now the mostwidely used refrigerant. A similar flurryof service fluid introductions occurredwith the earlier phaseout of R-12 (then,the most widely used refrigerant) and R-502. Data refinement continues for both

existing and new refrigerants with im-provements in measurement methods,further studies, and new understanding,especially of environmental impacts.

REFRIGERANT DATA TABLESThis article provides two tables that

update2,3,4 and expand selected physical,safety, and environmental data for com-mon refrigerants (retired and current)and leading candidates. The two tablescontain the same data sorted differently.Table 1 is arranged by standard refriger-ant designations, while Table 2 is sortedby refrigerant boiling points. Table 1lends itself to finding information on aspecific refrigerant. The sort order forTable 2 rearranges the refrigerants incoarse proximity of candidacy for similarapplications, to facilitate comparisons.

The parameter descriptions that fol-low are in the same sequence as presentedin Tables 1 and 2, going from the left tothe right columns.

IdentifiersThe number shown is the standard

designation based on those assigned byor recommended for addition toANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2004,Designation and Safety Classification ofRefrigerants,5 and addenda thereto for an-ticipated consistency with 34-2007when published. These familiar designa-tions are used almost universally, usuallypreceded by R-, R, the word Refrigerant,composition-designating prefixes (for ex-ample CFC, HCFC, HFC, or HC), ormanufacturer trade names.

The chemical formula indicates themolecular makeup of the single-com-pound refrigerants, namely those consist-ing of only one chemical substance. Theblend composition is shown for refrigerantblends, namely those consisting of two ormore chemicals that are mixed to obtaindesired characteristics. The compositionconsists of two parts. The first identifiesthe components, in order of increasingnormal boiling points and separated byslashes. The second part, enclosed in pa-rentheses, indicates the mass fractions (aspercentages) of those components in the

same order. The tables also indicate com-mon names by which some refrigerantsare frequently identified.

Physical propertiesThe molecular mass is a calculated

value based on the atomic weights recog-nized by International Union of Pure andApplied Chemists (IUPAC).6 It indicatesthe mass in grams of a mole of the refrig-erant or, for blends, the mass-weightedaverage of a mole of the mixture.

The normal boiling point (NBP) is thetemperature at which liquid refrigerantboils at standard atmospheric pressure,namely 101.325 kPa (14.6959 psia). TheNBP and most dimensional units in thetables are shown in both metric (SI) andinch-pound (IP) units of measure. Thetemperature of the sublimation point isshown for refrigerants that sublimate,such as R-744 (carbon dioxide). Thebubble point temperature—at which abubble first appears and boiling begins—is shown as the NBP for blends. Unlikesingle-compound refrigerants that boil ata single temperature for a given pressure,the dissimilar volatilities of componentscause mixture boiling to span a range be-tween the bubble point and dew pointtemperatures. The dew point is so namedbecause it is the condition at which con-densation begins when the blend iscooled.

The critical temperature (Tc) is thetemperature at the critical point of the re-frigerant, namely where the properties ofthe liquid and vapor phases are identical.Unless actually determined, the Tc valuesshown for blends are the mass weightedaverages of the component Tcs, some-times referred to as the “pseudo-criticaltemperature.”

The critical pressure (Pc) is the pressureat the critical point.

The NBP and critical properties sug-gest the application range for which anindividual refrigerant might be suitable.Those with extremely low NBPs lendthemselves to ultralow temperature re-frigeration including cryogenic applica-tions. Those with high NBPs generallyare limited to high-temperature applica-

tions, such as chillers and industrial heatpumps. Both capacity and efficiency de-cline when condensing temperatures ap-proach the Tc in a typical vapor-compres-sion (reverse-Rankine) cycle, the onemost commonly used. Pc will exceed theoperating pressure except in transcriticalcycles, which are uncommon except forR-744 (carbon dioxide). It is useful tocompare relative operating pressures be-cause practical cycles usually are designedto condense at 70 to 90 percent of the Tc

(on an absolute basis) and, therefore, atcorresponding fractions of the Pc.1,7

Safety dataThe first safety column included in

the tables tabulates the occupational expo-sure limit (OEL). It is an indication ofchronic (long-term, repeat exposure) tox-icity of the refrigerant for trained individ-uals likely to be exposed during theirwork. Common OELs include theAmerican Conference of GovernmentalIndustrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Thresh-old Limit Value-Time Weighted Average(TLV-TWA), the American IndustrialHygiene Association (AIHA) WorkplaceEnvironmental Exposure Level (WEEL)guide, the Deutsche Forschungsgemein-schaft (DFG) maximale ArbeitsplatzKonzentration (MAK, the maximumworkplace concentration), the Japan So-ciety of Occupational Health (JSOH)OEL, and the U.S. Occupational Safetyand Health Administration (OSHA)Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). Somecountries and manufacturers refer tothem as the acceptable exposure limit(AEL), industrial exposure limit (IEL),workplace exposure standard, or withsimilar terms. These measures indicaterecommended or adopted limits forworkplace exposures for trained person-nel for typical workdays and work weeks.OELs normally are expressed in ppm byvolume (ppm v/v) on a time-weightedaverage (TWA) basis for a normal work-day and workweek, unless preceded by aC to designate a “ceiling” limit.

The lower flammability limit (LFL) isthe lowest concentration at which the re-frigerant burns in air under prescribed

test conditions. It is an indication offlammability.

The heat of combustion (HOC) is anindicator of how much energy the refrig-erant releases when it burns in air, assum-ing complete reaction to the most stableproducts in their vapor state. Negativevalues indicate endothermic reactions(those that require heat to proceed),while positive values indicate exothermicreactions (those that liberate heat).

The ASHRAE Standard 34 safetygroup is an assigned classification that isbased on data used to determine theTLV-TWA (or consistent measure), LFL,and HOC. It comprises a letter (A or B)that indicates relative toxicity followed bya number (1, 2, or 3) that indicates rela-tive flammability. These classificationsare widely used in mechanical and fireconstruction codes to determine require-ments to promote safe use. Most of thesecode provisions are based on ASHRAEStandard 15, Safety Standard for Refriger-ation Systems. Some of the classificationsshown are followed by the lower case let-ter “r.” It signifies that the committee re-sponsible for ASHRAE 34 has recom-mended revision or addition of theclassification shown, but final approvaland/or publication is still pending. Simi-larly, a “d” indicates a deletion.

Blends were assigned dual classifica-tions, such as A1/A2, in the past to indi-cate the safety groups both as formulatedand for the worst case of fractionation.That practice changed to assignment of asingle safety group reflecting the worstcase of fractionation for specified leakand refill scenarios.

Environmental dataThe atmospheric lifetime (τatm) is an in-

dication of the average persistence of re-frigerant released into the atmosphereuntil it decomposes, reacts with otherchemicals, or is otherwise removed.While τatm factors into additional envi-ronmental parameters, it also is signifi-cant in its own right. It suggests the po-tential for atmospheric accumulation ofreleased refrigerants (and other chemi-cals). Long atmospheric lifetime implies

the potential for slow recovery from envi-ronmental problems, both those alreadyknown and additional concerns identi-fied in the future.

The values shown for the refrigerantlives are composite atmospheric life-times. The lifetimes also can be shownseparately for the tropospheric (lower at-mosphere, where we live), stratospheric(next layer, where global depletion ofozone is a concern), and higher layers be-cause the dominant atmospheric chem-istry changes between layers.

The ozone depletion potential (ODP) isa normalized indicator, based on a valueof one for R-11, of the ability of refriger-ants (and other chemicals) to destroystratospheric ozone molecules.

The values shown in Tables 1 and 2 aresemi-empirical ODPs, calculated valuesthat incorporate adjustments for ob-served atmospheric measurements.8 TheODPs shown for blends are mass-weighted averages. The semi-empiricalapproach is conceptually more accuratethan other measures, though it is stillevolving with further and improvedmeasurements and understanding.

Previous summaries2,3,4 focused onmodeled ODP values, then deemed themost indicative of environmental im-pacts based on consensus internationalassessments. There are several otherODP indices, including time-dependentand regulatory variations.

Time-dependent ODPs use chemicalsother than R-11 as the reference. Nor-malizing values to short-lived com-pounds emphasizes near-term impacts,but discounts long-term effects. Time-dependent ODPs are not cited often, be-cause release of ozone-depleting sub-stances already has peaked, and recoveryof the stratospheric ozone layer is underway.

The global warming potential (GWP)is a normalized indicator of the potencyto warm the planet by action as a green-house gas. The values shown are relativeto carbon dioxide (CO2) for an integra-tion period of 100 years, again based on

consensus scientific assessments.8,9,10 TheGWPs shown for blends are calculated,mass-weighted averages.

GWP values can be calculated for anydesired integration period, commonly re-ferred to as the integration time horizon(ITH). Short ITH periods emphasizeimmediate effects, but overlook later im-pacts, while long ITH periods incorpo-rate more of the later effects. The mostcommon GWP values, including thosecited herein, are for an ITH of 100 years.

These GWP values account only forthe direct effect of refrigerants (or othersubstances) upon release as greenhousegases. A variant dubbed an indirectGWP gauges the impacts of other atmos-pheric chemicals created or destroyed byreleased refrigerants. Examples includedecomposition and catalyzed reactionproducts that act as greenhouse gases.Another example is ozone destruction byreleased refrigerants, hence removal of apotent greenhouse gas. Accordingly, in-direct GWP values can be positive ornegative numerically. A positive GWPindicates radiative forcing, or a globalwarming effect. A negative GWP signi-fies negative radiative forcing, or a globalcooling effect. Summing direct and indi-rect GWPs yields net GWPs, which alsocould be positive or—for some ozone-depleting substances—negative. IndirectGWPs should not be confused with the“indirect effect” that accounts for actionof energy-related emissions, as part of“total equivalent warming impact”(TEWI) and similar analyses.

Except for R-50 (methane), the GWPvalues shown in tables 1 and 2 are directrather than net GWPs for consistencywith international assessments, pendingrefinement of the indirect GWP data.The GWP values shown as “~20” for hy-drocarbons reflect uncertainty in calcula-tions, for which there is no scientific con-sensus at this time. The approximationshown is within the range of estimates.Further study, using three-dimensional(3D) models for a range of release scenar-ios, is needed to determine representative

GWPs for chemicals with very short at-mospheric lifetimes, including the satu-rated and unsaturated hydrocarbonsamong others.

The atmospheric lifetime (τatm) im-pacts both the ODP and GWP, but thosemetrics also reflect separate chemicalproperties and other atmospheric data.The τatm, ODP, and GWP all should beas low as possible for selected refrigerants,and they should be considered alongwith performance, safety, and bothchemical and thermal stability.1

Figure 2 depicts the ODPs and GWPsfor common refrigerants. No inferenceshould be drawn that a unit of ODPequals a unit of GWP; they are dissimilarmetrics and there is no direct way toequate them. The intent of the figure is toenable quick identification of which re-frigerants are high in both ODP andGWP, low in one or the other, or low inboth.

ODP AND GWP DATA FOR REGULATORYAND REPORTING PURPOSES

The ODP and GWP data presented

in tables 1 and 2 reflect the latest consen-sus determinations of potential impacts.However, the reduction requirementsand allocations under the Montreal Pro-tocol (and many national regulationspursuant to it) use older, adopted ODPvalues. The ODP values listed in the an-nexes to the Montreal Protocol, for ex-ample, have not been updated since1987 for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)and 1992 for hydrochlorofluorocarbons(HCFCs).9 A note in the Protocol indi-cates that the values “are estimates basedon existing knowledge and will be re-viewed and revised periodically,” but thathas not happened yet. Similarly, emissionreporting pursuant to the Kyoto Protocolis based on data from an earlier assess-ment,12 rather than more recent scientificfindings.

Tables 3 and 4 contrast the regulatory(or reporting) ODP and GWP values tothe latest data from international, scien-tific, consensus assessments. While thescientific data logically would precede theregulatory data, the order is shown as re-versed because the scientific data wereupdated subsequently, while the regula-tory values were not.

FIGURE 2. Ozone depletion potential (ODP) contrasted to global warming potential (GWP)for key refrigerants (brown and orange shading indicate semi-empirical and modeledODPs, respectively). CFCs generally have high ODP and GWP. HCFCs generally havemuch lower ODP and GWP. HFCs offer near-zero ODP, but some have very high GWPs.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA DIFFERENCESThe values for τatm, ODP, and GWP

change as understanding of atmosphericscience expands and the chemical kinet-ics involved become better understood.They also change when newer measure-ments are made. These factors havedriven periodic reviews andconsensus assessments by thescientific community.

The τatm, ODP, and GWPvalues shown in tables 1 and 2reflect data from the latest in-ternational assessments.8,9,10

The tables include additionaldata from selected scientificpublications for refrigerantsnot addressed in these assess-ments. The data indicated forblends are calculated valuesbased on the components andnominal formulations.
