Since many low-GWP refrigerants are flammable, changes must be made to building codes and standards before they will be acceptable in HVACR equipment.

Refrigerant migration can be damaging to a compressor. The refrigerant migrating back to the compressor can possibly slug the component.

As refrigerant regulations grow more stringent, manufacturers are beginning to offer new refrigeration architectures that utilize low-GWP refrigerants.

The compressor’s discharge temperature can tell the service technician what is going on inside a refrigeration or air conditioning system.

The refrigeration industry can and should continue to challenge itself to focus on what we know are important factors.
