The question is, is there a technical reason? Are modern refrigeration systems more efficient than CFC systems? If so, then it's a dumb idea. But if there's an actual efficiency gain to be had with CFCs... well.
This is not my field of expertise, and a quick googling didn't turn up really unbiased sources.
- maxerickson 8y agoThey aren't different enough to justify any hassle seeking them out.
- beat 8y agoDepends. It's not just efficiency, it's cost savings. If someone is running a large enough operation to save millions of dollars a year in cooling by using CFCs (assuming they're actually cheaper), and one is in a, um, lightly regulated industry (like Bitcoin mining) that uses massive power... well, that's a lot of justification. Small savings become big savings at scale.
