Danfoss discusses refrigerant options
8th August 2025
DENMARK: Danfoss has produced a new whitepaper examining the trends and drivers in selecting refrigerants for HVACR systems.
The Danish equipment manufacturer recognises that new and evolving regulations on refrigerants can make it a challenge to stay up to date on current trends, with new regulations impacting everything from component selection to designing future systems.
Based on Danfoss’ experience and knowledge, the new white paper – Refrigerant options now and in the future – provides an updated summary of the background, trends, and drivers for present and future refrigerant selection.
The whitepaper discusses the history of refrigerants, predicts the continued dominance of vapour-compression systems, and anticipates a dramatic increase in refrigerant consumption due to the growing demand for green energy and emerging economies.
Selecting suitable refrigerants is a decision that will impact users for years to come, and experts suggest that safety, affordability, and environmental friendliness are the most important factors to consider when building a system. However, Danfoss insist that a balance of these factors can’t be found in just one refrigerant for all applications.
The whitepaper also covers the impact of regulations, including national and international regulations, GWP limits, and taxes on high-GWP refrigerants, and provides an overview of the most promising alternative refrigerants currently available on the market.
