(1) No 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, 50 % HFC-143a. The GWP value is determined from this.
