By 2030, only 21% of the quantity of HFC refrigerants that were sold in 2015 will be available. When choosing refrigerant for a new system, you must avoid very high Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants and, where possible, move to the ultra-low GWP options.<\/p>\n<h3>Ultra-low GWP chiller refrigerant<\/h3>\n<p>Recently introduced HFO refrigerants such as R-1234ze or R513A provide many advantages to higher GWP alternatives and are a more environmentally friendly alternative to R134a (GWP 1,430), when possible.<\/p>\n<h3>R-1234ze chiller refrigerant<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>very<\/strong> low GWP of 6<\/li>\n<li>An atmospheric life of just a few days<\/li>\n<li>Lower energy consumption than R290 and most natural HFC refrigerants<\/li>\n<li>Lower capacity than R134a<\/li>\n<li>More energy efficient<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>R513A chiller refrigerant<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A GWP of 631<\/li>\n<li>Low atmospheric life<\/li>\n<li>&lt;1% difference in seasonal efficiency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether the most environmentally friendly or budget friendly solution is important to your business, there is an alternative to R134a, when appropriate.
