Although written for the UK market, the report – Which low GWP option could be used for my refrigerant application? – will be of interest to all those working under the constraints of the European F-gas regulations, or those looking to adopt lower GWP refrigerants.

The 15-page report explains how different lower GWP refrigerants are likely to operate in various applications based on either theoretical cycle calculations or using equipment manufacturers data, what standards and regulations apply and what is required for compliance with the standards and regulations.
