BACKGROUND INFORMATION ENVIRONMENTAL TRENDS<br />
ENVIRONMENTAL TRENDS<br />
In 1989, in an effort to reduce the impact of CFC gases on the environment and to<br />
comply with the terms of the Montreal Protocol, governments of most countries<br />
passed laws to ban the import or manufacture of CFC's.<br />
<strong>Refrigerants</strong> such as CFC’s, HCFC’s, and HFC’s are now<br />
recognised as environmentally harmful products. Some destroy<br />
the ozone layer and all have unacceptable global warming<br />
potential. Enlightened governments moved to ban the<br />
manufacture of CFC’s, while HCFC and HFC refrigerants are<br />
now being declared as controlled products.<br />
Hydrocarbon refrigerants are made from naturally occurring<br />
gases, and cause no damage to the environment. They are energy efficient, have no<br />
chemical or acid reactions, and are highly economical. Hydrocarbon refrigerants are<br />
compatible with most existing systems and are easy to use.<br />
