Abstract

Comparative environmental evaluation for possible alternative refrigerants (R-744, HFO-1234yf) is performed using by LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) which is one of the most famous tools. Based on ISO 14040 series, LCA is performed through the production, use, and disposal stage of each air conditioner system, and the result would be shown which refrigerant is more environment friendly. The environmental profile of all the refrigerant will be used for decision supporting information.
