I have only heard about R744 in passing. Sounds like it is taking hold. Google fu says your industry contributes 3-10% of greenhouse emissions, ( nice range huh?) suppose cutting that back is a good thing. I run the A/C 24/7 here in the desert.
Safety Precautions:R744 is an asphyxiant and can cause severe eye burns. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling it. Systems operate at high pressures, so follow specific design and charging guidelines. Charging Method:It's crucial to charge R744 slowly, first with vapor, then with liquid, to avoid creating dry ice and damaging the system. Use a high-pressure gauge set to monitor pressure. System Compatibility:R744 is a natural refrigerant with excellent thermodynamic properties but requires specialized system design due to its high operating pressures and low critical temperature. Purity and Moisture Content:For optimal performance and to prevent corrosion, use refrigerant-grade CO2 with a low moisture content, typically less than 10 parts per million.
40,000 ppm (aka 4%) in the air is lethal. It has happened. Safety of Life (SOL) requires detection and ventilation. We git 'em all over the place now and they all monitor the level. The AI bot crawls the data and watches it rise due to humans anthropogenic sources.
At the rate we are emitting it we could be at 40,000 ppm in 20 years depending how steep the exponential blast is. We did go up 30 PPM in the last 15 years, it is gonna skyrocket with Drill Baby Drill. Oxygen won't be for just Emphysema patients any more..
What's really funny is the source for liquid CO2 comes as a by product from combusting natural gas... and we won't have to scrub it out if Trump has his way..
Policy is moving refrigerants out with PFAS in them.. HFO's like R513A. But even that could get reveresed under the Trump admin.
