Hi. Good day to all.
I want to seek assistance with the selection of a non-energy effect load. I'm trying to input the R410a as my load and could not see it in the software. Could anyone help me with this? Do I need to input some parameters in the LEAP software?
Thank you. Regards, Ralph

1 Like According to this page, R410a is a mixture of CH2F2 (HFC-32) and CHF2CF3,(HFC-125), both of which are listed separately in the LEAP pollutants database (accessed from the General: Effects screen). If you don't see them at first, make sure you select <All Effects> at the top left of this screen. Each of these pollutants has certain GWP (global warming potential) factors associated with them,
I would suggest you specify a separate emission factor for each in your LEAP analysis. Alternatively, you can add your effect to the Effects screen but you would need to know the GWP values for R410a.
