New refrigerant may improve coefficient of temperature of air-source heat pumps by up to 21%

Developed by a Chinese research group, the novel refrigerant is made of a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a non-flammable hydrofluoroolefin. It has slightly higher costs compared to conventional compounds, but its creators claims these costs could be significantly reduced with large-scale industrial production. A group of scientists led by the Zhejiang University in China has developed a novel zeotropic refrigerant that can reportedly improve the performance of air-source heat pumps (ASHPs), while also offering a number of safety and stability advantages. "The cost of this new refrigerant ...
