What the heck is HFO-1234yf? That's the name of a new refrigerant that's reportedly 350-times less damaging to the atmosphere than the current HFC-134a (or 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, if you prefer).

Furthermore, the establishment of international standards for refrigerants, such as the new equation of state for R-1234yf, ensures that the properties of these fluids are accurately represented ...

Earlier this month, Volkswagen lined up with Daimler and BMW to support Daimler's findings from last year that the new refrigerant, called HFO-1234yf, can become flammable. Volkswagen says it will ...

Another study specifically examined the condensation heat transfer of pure refrigerants R1234yf and R32 in multiple circular minichannels. This research highlighted how factors like mass flux ...
