THE Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), represented by the Radiation and Chemical Protection Department, in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), held a briefing on 'Kigali Amendment' on

The Ministry of Municipality and Environment, represented by the Radiation and Chemical Protection Department, in co-operation with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), held yesterday a briefing on the 'Kigali Amendment' on
hydrofluorocarbon compounds that cause severe damage to the environment.
Greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
hydrofluorocarbon, perfluorocompounds, and sulfur hexafluoride.
The Sporlan SER-AA and SER-A valves are ideal for subcritical C02 (R-744) supermarket cases and other small HFC (
hydrofluorocarbon) and HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon) applications.
Coke's Chief Executive Muhtar Kent said that the company, which sells everything from soda and juice drinks to water, will replace
hydrofluorocarbon, also known as HFC, in its new vending machines and coolers by 2015.
CO2 fridges are far less harmful to the environment than the
hydrofluorocarbon units in general use.
Summary: DuPont announced significant progress toward the development and commercialization of a new refrigerant for automotive air conditioning that offers a considerably lower global warming potential than
hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) R-134a, which is used today.
The companies based in China will manufacture and distribute
hydrofluorocarbon 125 and other fluid blends, which can be used as coolants in air conditioners without depleting the ozone layer.
Also, while a traditional
hydrofluorocarbon air conditioner requires a heater core to transform engine heat into warm cabin air, Denso's A/C unit can quickly raise cabin temperature through the heat exchange between the [CO.sub.2] refrigerant and the air, without using engine heat at all.

hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), such as R-134a or HP 62.
