Estimation of environmental concentrations and deposition fluxes of R-1234-YF and its decomposition products emitted from AC equipment

added 7 September, 2010

« R-1234-YF (CF3CF=CH2), is a next-generation refrigerant candidate with a low GWP of four. However, the photochemical reaction of R-1234-YF due to its high reactivity with OH radicals can contribute to ozone production in the troposphere. Moreover,... »

Estimation of environmental concentrations and deposition fluxes of R1234yf

added 24 February, 2010

« In this paper, the authors assume that R-1234-YF is used as the refrigerant in air conditioning equipment in Japan, and we estimate the environmental concentrations of the refrigerant and its decomposed products by using an atmospheric dispersion ... »
