Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are often substituted for R-22 because of their lower ozone depletion potential, but these refrigerants often have a higher GWP. R-410A, for example, is often substituted, but has a GWP of 2088. Another substitute is R-404A with a GWP of 3900. Other substitute refrigerants are available with low GWP.
According to ASHRAE standard 34, the R-number of a chemical refrigerant is assigned systematically according to its molecular structure and has between two and four digits. If there are carbon -carbon multiple bonds , there are four digits in all: the number of these bonds is the first digit and the number of carbon atoms minus one (C-1) is next.
From 1930 to 1935, they developed dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl 2 F 2 or R12), trichlorofluoromethane (CCl 3 F or R11), chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF 2 or R22), trichlorotrifluoroethane (CCl 2 FCClF 2 or R113), and dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CClF 2 CClF 2 or R114), through Kinetic Chemicals which was a joint venture between DuPont and General Motors.

HCFC-123 is used in large tonnage centrifugal chiller applications, and is the most efficient refrigerant currently in use in the marketplace for HVAC applications. HCFC-123 is also used as a testing agent for bypass leakage of carbon adsorbers in gas filtration systems, and as the primary chemical in Halotron I fire-extinguishing agent. [2]
1-Chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, C 2 H Cl F 4, is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon used as a component in refrigerants offered as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons. HCFC-124 is also used in gaseous fire suppression systems as a replacement for bromochlorocarbons. [2]
1,1-Dichloro-1-fluoroethane is a haloalkane with the formula C 2 H 3 Cl 2 F. It is one of the three isomers of dichlorofluoroethane. It belongs to the hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) family of man-made compounds that contribute significantly to both ozone depletion and global warming when released into the environment.
1-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFO-1233zd) is the unsaturated chlorofluorocarbon with the formula HClC=C(H)CF 3.The compound exists as E- (cis-) and Z- (trans-) isomers.The trans-isomer of this colorless gas is of interest as a more environmentally friendly (lower GWP; global warming potential) refrigerant in air conditioners.
