Ok so next week Im supposed to submit a paper on What would be the benefits of banning R22 and implementing R410a as the standard refrigerant for home cooling. We have a website we can go to, been there. I got even more confused trying to use that site then I do using this sites search 
So for those of you in the "know", what are your opinions and/or do you know of any facts to help me support this. I know R410a has a higher/faster heat transfer rate and thus is used in "high efficiency" a/c units. |

This article has some information. I glanced through it some and it sounds like some of the articles in the bibliography go into greater detail about how the different refrigerants work. http://www.bfrl.nist.gov/863/HVAC/pubs/PDF/Calm%20Domanski,%20R-22%20Replacement%20Status,%20EcoLibrium,%202004.pdf I found this using Google Scholar. A lot of the new and up to date articles you'll find will still be protected and require you to pay to see them, but most over a decade or so are out for free viewing and occasionally there's a new article that you can view without paying. I've found that some places will charge you to see a paper but if you search for the article name and the first author sometimes you can find it somewhere else for free.  |

The Google is strong with this one 
Thanks, Ill scope it out |
Just argue how good the view is at night through the hole in the ozone that all the old refridgerants cause!
I jest, I jest..... Yes, there are CFC's in R22. Is that a problem? No.... One volcano eruption puts out more CFC's than the world put out in 50 years with all the CFC containing AC's!

Extra credit if you work in dirty, stinking hippies, and their idiot theories .Im doing a paper, not inventing a new form of headache I realize that you probably can't use it in your paper, but its the same reason that we went from R-12 to R-134A in cars. Stupid, stinky, tree hugging hippies and their idiotic "science".

Stupid, stinky, tree hugging hippies and their idiotic "science". It created a whole bunch of gov't jobs, made some money for Congressmen and the companies that bought them, and aided the automobile industry in justifying greater prices for their automobiles. If it did something for the environment, it helped the Mexicans make a great deal of money smuggling in R12 when they passed NAFTA. They could afford nicer homes so their environments definitely improved. |
