Objective:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. To derive names of refrigerants from their refrigerant numbers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. To learn about the concept of Global Warming Potentials for conventional and natural refrigerants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    Outcome:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Students will be sensitized about the hazardous impacts of conventional refrigerants due to high GWP value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Students will come to know that natural refrigerants are a sustainable, viable option to replace them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      Requirements:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

      Currency notes, coins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Prerequisites:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Refrigerant nomenclature<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Concept of Global Warming Potential (GWP). <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        Procedure:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

        Step 1:<\/em><\/strong> Create eight groups from amongst students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2:<\/em><\/strong> Ask each group to choose from the following conventional refrigerants:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. R410A<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. R22<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. R134A<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. R32<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. R290<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        6. R1270<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        7. R744<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        8. R717<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Step 3:<\/em><\/strong> Each group to classify their refrigerant based on refrigerant type (HCFC, HFC etc.) and determine their GWP values for a 100 year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 4:<\/em><\/strong> Assign one rupee to a GWP value of 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 5:<\/em><\/strong> Before coming to the next class, each group will bring the money equating to the GWP values for their chosen refrigerants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 6: <\/em><\/strong>In the next class, ask each group to tell the name of the refrigerant, and the money that they have brought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 7:<\/em><\/strong> Write these values on the board along with the corresponding group-name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 8:<\/em><\/strong> The group having the least amount of money, is the richest (environmentally) amongst them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 9: <\/em><\/strong>Succeed the game by discussing the issues of conventional refrigerants having high GWP and the alternative of natural refrigerants as a sustainable viable option.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 10: <\/em><\/strong>Each group researches and shares atleast one natural refrigerant\u2019s name and its environmental impact, uses, possible cooling system systems and case studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
