Fluorochemicals and refrigerants and Industrial heat pumps and vapour recompression

Their prices have moved together.

Fluorochemicals and refrigerants (chemical) and Industrial heat pumps and vapour recompression (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Price link: refrigerants

Cost and price · Weak · Both ways

Many industrial heat pumps use fluorinated refrigerants, while high-temperature units turn to natural fluids or steam. Yearly moves correlate at 0.23 with the fluorocarbon proxy, a weak cost link. Phase-down rules raise the cost of older fluids.
