Paper Summary

The article talks about finding environmentally friendly refrigerants for cooling systems. Scientists have developed new refrigerants like HFO-1234yf which have low global warming potential (GWP). These new refrigerants are safe and efficient. Blends of HFO refrigerants are being used in systems to make them more eco-friendly. Tests show that these new refrigerants work well and can be used in cooling systems. It's important to balance the low GWP with safety when choosing a refrigerant for cooling systems.
