HUN’s HFC Management Workshop Overall Summary

HUN’s HFC Management Workshop One global refrigerant (HFC-134a) – a very unique situation for MAC industry MAC sector is only one sector in the world that has been regulated! This sector started the phase-out of HFC-134a (GWP of 1460) much earlier than other sectors MAC sector represents approximately 20% of the total global usage of HFC-134a A number of low GWP refrigerants suitable for MAC systems have been investigated by this sector Overall Summary Current Situation

HUN’s HFC Management Workshop Some of the refrigerants investigated are: HFO-1234yf; R- 744 (CO 2 ); R445A; R-152a; R-290; R600a; etc. Refrigerants evaluated for heat pump systems for HEVs and EVs Some refrigerants are better suited for heat pump application HFO-1234yf with a GWP of 4 seems to be the winner at this time Approximately 3 million vehicles with HFO-1234yf have been produced until the end of 2014 Overall Summary Current Situation
5
HUN’s HFC Management Workshop Still various options available on hand We have many challenges as we have many barriers for selection a refrigerant: Safety issues – Code & Regulations Energy Efficiency Cost Applicability at high ambient condition Technician training and certification We all need to work together to ensure we have one global solution for our industry for reducing CO 2 emissions!! Overall Summary Next Steps Thank you!!
