In the interest of lowering the global warming impact of mobile air-conditioning systems, alternative refrigerants to R-134a with less GWP are being investigated. This study demonstrated that R-152a is a viable alternative refrigerant for A/C system and as a heat pump fluid it has the requisite supplemental heating capacity for passenger cabins if engine cooling is utilized as the heat source. Considering the information gathered in this investigation, some particular points worth highlighting are: R-152a systems provide equal or better comfort cooling compared to current R-134a systems; R-152a systems use less energy than current R-134a systems; R-152a systems have considerably lower impact on the climate from direct refrigerant emissions.
