Currently, the refrigerant used in domestic automotive air conditioning systems is generally R134a, a widely used environmentally friendly refrigerant for medium and low temperatures. Europe and America tend to favor R1234yf, but its disadvantage is its flammability, posing certain safety hazards. Carbon dioxide refrigeration (R744) can simultaneously solve the above problems, with an ODP of 0, a GWP of 1, and is non-toxic and non-flammable. It exhibits good heating performance at ambient temperatures down to -40℃, meeting the usage requirements of all regions globally. Therefore, CO2 will be the ultimate refrigerant for future air conditioning systems.
