November 13 th, 2010 Daikin Industries, Ltd. 6 While risk of R290 (propane) can be addressed with several measures (eg forced fan operation to lower concentration below LFL), repair and disposal risks remain considerably high TransportInstallationUseRepairDisposal Estimated Incidents/year in Japan with R290 room air conditioners, after Measures Optimistic Pessimistic Source : Risk assessment work on HC refrigerant carried out by JRAIA Non Fluorocarbon Refrigerant WG in Reason : -Human errors during repair & disposal, which is beyond the control of manufacturers - During repair & disposal there is no power supply for the unit, so measures such as forced fan operation do not work.

November 13 th, 2010 Daikin Industries, Ltd. 11 Conclusion 2. A2L Class refrigerants for all capacity ranges can be used with only minor modifications To address climate change issues, quick actions are required. We are confident that R32 technology is one of the solutions that can quickly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants, in both developed and developing countries. 1. Evaluate not only GWP but also the total GHG emissions (LCCP) 4. Earn “Quick Gain” for lowering future global warming impact. 3. Peak load should be considered when choosing candidates. In case of R32, higher efficiency and less refrigerant charge will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Additional leakage prevention measures will contribute to emission reduction further, as is the case of all refrigerants. Not only seasonal energy efficiency but also efficiency in extreme temperature conditions (peak load) should be taken into consideration. It is important for the power supply infrastructure.
