Ozone-depleting potential

Perfluorinated ethers and perfluorinated tertiary amines do not contribute to the formation of ground level ozone and are exempt from VOC regulations (32). The commercial compounds discussed above have an ozone depletion potential of zero because they do not contain either chlorine or bromine which take part in catalytic cycles that destroy stratospheric ozone (33). 

The cap is the percentage of the calculated level of chlorofluorocarbons consumed in the base year plus the calculated level of hydrofluorocarbons consumed the same base year It applies only to HCFCs Calculated in the context means that the amount of each substance is adjusted by its ozone depletion potential (ODP), a measure of its potential to deplete stratosphenc ozone relative to that of CFC 11... 

Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The phase-out of CFCs began on Jnly 1, 1989, and by 1997, a hydroflnorcarbon, HFC134a, with zero ozone depletion potential, became the dominant refrigerant in the United States. The phase-out of CFCs in developing countries is on a slower schedule.

Table 1 lA presents tabulations of the safety of important refrigerants, but this list does not include aU available refrigerants. Table 11-5 summarizes a limited list of comparative hazards to life of refrigerant gas and vapor. The current more applicable refrigerants from the m or manufacturers of the CFC and HCFC refrigerants and their azeotropes/ blends/mrxtures are included, but the list excludes the pure hydrocarbons such as propane, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as methyl chloride and others, inorganics, ammonia, carbon dioxide, etc. See Table 11-6. The CFC compounds have a longer and more serious ozone depletion potential than the HCFC compounds, because these decompose at a much lower atmospheric level and have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes therefore, they do less damage to the ozone layer. Table 11-7 summarizes alternate refrigerants of the same classes as discussed previously. Table 11-8 correlates DuPont s SUVA refrigerant numbers to the corresponding ASHRAE numbers.

SUVA 9000 (R-407C) HCFC-22 An equivalent pressure replacement for HCFC-22 with 0 ozone depletion potential for use in commercial and residential air conditioners and heat pumps. Suva 9000 provides the closest match to HCFC-22 performance in existing HCFC equipment design. 

Ozone Depletion Potential. This is calculated in a similar manner to global warming potential and is expressed relative to CFC-11. Factors for all common gases having significant effects on the ozone layer have been calculated. 

Haseley [2.4] differentiates between two categories of refrigerants The first group can be exchanged in compressor systems without changing the compressor itself, but changing the injection valves. The second group with no Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).

Hydrochlorofluorocarbon-141b, or 1,1-dichloro-l-fluoroethane (HCFC141b), has been developed as a replacement for fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons because its residence time in the atmosphere is shorter, and its ozone depleting potential is lower than that of presently used chlorofluoro... 

It is desired to find a replacement for Freon-12 as an alternative refrigerant [Duvedi Achenie (1996)]. The objective is to find replacements that have the same refrigerant related properties as Freon-12 but without the harmfull environmental properties (such as the Ozone depletion potential) - The new refrigerant must absorb heat at temperatures as low as -1.1°C and reject heat at temperatures as high as 313 K. It must also respect the following characteristics ... 

Kayukawa et al. [17] studied the PVT properties of triiluoromethyl methyl ether, because it is a possible refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and low global-warming potential. One series of their data is shown in Table 5.6. Calculate Z, the compressibihty factor, and the molar volume in mol m from the given data, and fit the data for Z as a function of 1 /Pm to both a linear and a quadratic equation to see whether a third virial coefficient is warranted by the data.
