BITZER's latest Refrigerant Report is now available.

The 18^th edition includes vital information on all current refrigerants including HFC and HFO refrigerants, refrigerant blends, alternative halogen free refrigerants and R22 as a transitional refrigerant. Again the report underlines BITZER'S commitment to providing thoroughly researched and unbiased information to assist specifiers, refrigeration engineers and end users in their selection of refrigerants.

Refrigerant Report 18 reflects the fact that since the early 1990s there have been major changes in refrigeration technology, mainly due to environmental concerns and the need to develop refrigerants that would not contribute to ozone layer depletion. This has resulted in the emergence of many different new refrigerants, blends and alternatives. These are examined in detail and the report shows how system designs can be developed around a refrigerant of choice.

Refrigerant Report 18 offers important guidance on the concept of TEWI (Total Equivalent Warming Impact) to calculate the environmental impact of the operation of individual refrigeration plants. It also describes the meaning of Eco Efficiency to express the operation of a plant as a consideration of all economic and ecological factors.
