Honeywell Gains EPA Approval for New Refrigerant
Honeywell has released a
new low-global-warming refrigerant for use in automobile air conditioning
systems. The refrigerant has received final approval from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
The approval allows the
refrigerant, HFO-1234yf, to be used in new cars in the U.S. Honeywell says the
refrigerant has a global-warming potential that is 99.7 percent less than
HFC-13a, the refrigerant currently used in most car air conditioning systems.
The EPA granted the approval under its Significant New Alternatives Policy
program.
