Global warming is a big problem caused by old refrigerants. Scientists studied new eco-friendly refrigerants to see how well they work in air conditioners. They found that R1234ze(Z) is a good choice with only a small drop in performance compared to the old refrigerant R134a. R1234ze(Z) has low global warming potential and can help make air conditioning more sustainable.
