Abstract
HFC refrigerant mixtures are widely used now in cold supply and air conditioning systems. R404А, R410A, R407С are the most popular of them. But the list of HFC refrigerant mixtures is not limited by these refrigerants. The paper envisages the properties, fields of application, environmental characteristics of HFC refrigerant mixtures that are not well known. The statutes of EU regulations ЕС 517/2014 on phasing out of fluorinecontaining gases by 2030 are cited. A diagram presentation of the values of refrigerant mixtures GWP in comparison with R134a is given. It is recommended to replace refrigerant mixtures at high GWP with R134a during an interim period until HFO refrigerants are tested, studied on safety and price reducing.
