R-134a (1,1,12-Tetrafluoroethane)
R-404A [R-125/143a/134a (44/52/4)]
R-407C [R-32/125/134a (23/25/52)
R-410A [R-32/125 (50/50)]
Ammonia/Water
Water/Lithium bromide
The Montreal Protocol, signed in 1987 and later amended in 1990, 1992, 1997, and 1999 controls the
production of ozone-depleting substances including refrigerants containing chlorine and/or bromine
production chloro-fluoro-carbons (CFC). Pursuent to this treaty, refrigerants such as R-11 and R-12,
ceased to exist in 1996 although continued use from existing stocks is permitted. In addition,
hydrofluorocarbon (HCFCs) (such as R-22 and R-123) are being phased out, with complete cessation
of production by January 1, 2030.
These refrigerants are being replaced by HFC refrigerants which have zero ozone depletion potential.
Common HFC refrigerants are R-32, R-125, 134a, and R-143a and their mixtures, such as, R-404A,
R-407C, and R-410A.
This appendix gives thermophysical properties of these HFC refrigerants and ammonia water and
waterlithium bromide mixtures which are used in absorption refrigeration systems. Properties of R-22
are given to serve as a reference (Figure A5.1 through Figure A5.8).
