Overview of Refrigerants Refrigerants are essential substances used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems to absorb and transfer heat, allowing for effective temperature regulation. With growing environmental concerns and evolving regulations, the landscape of refrigerant types has undergone significant changes. This article delves into the various refrigerants currently in use, highlighting their properties, advantages, and […]
Alternatives such as R-32 and R-454B are already being adopted in many regions, offering better environmental performance. As HVAC technology evolves, natural refrigerants like R-290 (Propane) and CO₂ may also become more prevalent. The European Union has strict F-Gas regulations to limit the use of high-GWP refrigerants, encouraging the shift to alternatives. With an ODP […]
For years, R-410a was the standard refrigerant for residential air conditioners because of its effectiveness. Because of this, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implemented a strategy back in 2021. The industry will steadily eliminate R-410a to make room for refrigerants that are more eco-friendly. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has outlined […]
