Natural refrigerant for mobile air conditioning systems
It is now widely acknowledged that the synthetic refrigerants contained in mobile air conditioning systems are doing damage to our climate. In June, experts at two international congresses in the USA will once again discuss alternatives to the harmful refrigerants now used in air conditioning systems. In the opinion of the Federal Environment Agency, the most climate-friendly solution is to replace synthetic refrigerants such as R134a with the natural refrigerant carbon dioxide (R744). ”To effectively relieve the burden on the earth’s atmosphere will take more than a European or mere German solution that adopts carbon dioxide. It is time for global action”, intoned UBA President Prof. Dr. Andreas Troge. UBA is showing its support of this climate-friendly technology by equipping a car with an R744 air conditioning unit, which will demonstrate the practicability of this innovation. read more
