    kWh versus GWP - R134a

    CO2 has a GWP =1
    R134a a GWP of 1300

    Making 1kWh produces 0.7 kg CO2

    How to make the comparison: how much R134a do we have to release in the atmosphere to create 0.7 kg C02 or the equivalent of it?

    Why I'm asking this? We may not longer vent our lines with refrigerant but we have to vacuum all our hoses. I wonder if we don't produce more CO2 with running the vacuumpump then purging very short our 3 lines on our manifold.

    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
