thereby indicating its contribution to the greenhouse effect.<br>Each refrigerant is assigned a GWP value, which allows its environmental impact to be assessed.<br>Example: The GWP of R410A is 2,100 (meaning it is 2,100 times more harmful than CO2), whereas the GWP of R1234yf is only 1.<br>Any further questions?
