Technical Seminar
Title : Options and Outlook for Chiller Refrigerants
Date : 27 October 2003 (Monday)
Time / Duration : 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Venue : Hong Kong Polytechnic University Lecture Theatre N003
Introduction : With recognition that there are no ideal refrigerants and that none is likely to be found, users must work with available candidates. Selection criteria range from environmental and safety considerations to performance and compatibility issues. The seminar will review the progression in refrigerants, from historical selections through current options and projections for the future. It will examine the global environmental issues that catalyzed recent changes. It then will discuss candidate refrigerants in the context of future availability (or phase-out based on controls for environmental protection), efficiency, toxicity, flammability, and escalating future costs. The discussion will highlight the actions that design engineers, building owners and managers, and refrigeration contractors and technicians can take to address the issues cited and influence future refrigerant options.
