Page 3 OZONE LAYER Ozone (O3 ) is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms. 90% of the ozone is found in the upper atmosphere, 10-50km above earth surface (stratosphere). The ozone layer absorbs most of the harmful ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation from the sun. CFCs and HCFCs link to ozone layer depletion. If the ozone layer depletes, more harmful UV-B radiation will reach the earth through the damaged ozone layer. Ecological damages and health risk.

Page 6 In 1985, British scientists discovered a large thinning in the ozone layer over the Antarctic continent. In September 1998, the Antarctic ozone hole reached a record size of 25 million km 2,or two and half times the size of Europe. UV-B levels are now about 7% higher than thirty years ago.(1970s) UV-B radiation has increased dramatically nearer the poles, 22% higher in the Arctic and 130% higher in the Antarctic relative to values in the 1970s.

Page 14 To phase out R22, alternatives to R22 should be chosen carefully though overall evaluations: 1.Energy efficiency 2.Total emission 3.Safety 4.Economic aspects There are several candidates: 1.HFC32 : Intermediate GWP and efficient 2.Propane(R290): Natural and efficiency but highly flammable 3.CO2: Natural but poor in efficiency 4.HFC410A: High GWP but applications are widely commercialized In comprehensive points of view, R32 is recommended as best alternative to new split air conditioners.
