This paper deals with present and planned ORNL activities to characterize alternatives to R-22 for unitary heat pump and air-conditioning applications. Results of small-scale bread-board tests of potential alternatives R-32, R-134a, R-152a and R-143a are discussed. Portions of the AFEAS/DOE global warming impact study dealing with the unitary application are summarized. Methods for leak detection with the new refrigerants are discussed.
