The article discusses new refrigerants that can replace R-410A in air conditioning systems. These new refrigerants have lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) values, making them safer for the environment. They are nonflammable, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and can be used in existing systems without major modifications. Tests showed that these new refrigerants perform well, with similar capacity and efficiency to R-410A. Overall, using these new refrigerants can help reduce total emissions and benefit the environment.
