Eco-friendly refrigerants boost energy efficiency, cutting costs and emissions.
The scientists looked at using a new, eco-friendly mix of refrigerants in a cooling system to save energy. They used computer software to test how well the mix performed compared to a common refrigerant called R22. Their tests showed that the new blend is more efficient, using less power and lowering the system's temperature. Overall, the mix is 2.1% better at cooling than R22, making it a good replacement for older refrigerants in home air conditioners.
