How do refrigerant changes affect the efficiency and environmental impact of air conditioners?
I’ve heard that switching refrigerants in air conditioners can improve efficiency, but how exactly do these changes affect performance and the environment?

And from the environmental side, older refrigerants such as R-22 contain chlorine, which damages the ozone layer. Modern refrigerants have much lower ozone depletion potential and global warming potential. For example, R-32 has a smaller carbon footprint compared to R-410A.
