(1) Not having an ozone-depleting effect.
(2) Mixture consisting of 52% HFC-143a, 44% HFC-125 and 4% HFC-134a. The GWP value is determined from this.
(3) Mixture consisting of 53% HCFC-22, 13% HFC-152a and 34% HCFC-124. The GWP value is determined from this.
(4) Mixture consisting of 38% HCFC-22, 60% HFC-125 and 2% propane. The GWP value is determined from this.
(5) Mixture consisting of 25% HFC 125, 52% HFC 134a, and 23% HFC 32. The GWP value is determined from this.
(6) Mixture consisting of 46% HFC 143a and 7% HFC 125. The GWP value is determined from this.
(7) A HFCFC mixture consisting entirely of HCFCs, where the GWP value – in accordance with the climate convention guidelines – is 0, since the mixture does not contain greenhouse gases. The real GWP value is 1,440.
(8) Mixture consisting of 50% HFC 32 and 50% HFC-125.
(9) Mixture consisting of 50% HFC 125 and 50% HFC 143a. The GWP value is determined from this.
