Is it time to admit that maybe the problem with r22 and some of the other CFC's were that people were using them as propellants for hairspray/etc, as canned air, and any number of industrial processes (packing peanut manufacture) that was basically blowing it into the atmosphere and the lack of regulations requiring refrigeration units to be repaired/leakchecked before pumping more refrigerant into them?
It seems pretty clear that the fairly short lived damage they cause to a renewable resource (ozone) would largly be a non issue given modern refrigerant regulations. While the advantages make them pretty much the best in any number of areas.
- TheJoeMan 4y agoYou are following the explanation for the bans as they are told. R134a was introduced in the 90's, and in 2010's it conveniently is named bad at the same time the patent runs out. So the savior was the 4x as expensive R1234yf, introduced 2012. Don't worry that it's flammable. Here we are 10 years after R1234yf, it's time to explain why it can't be used anymore!
