R32 Refrigerant

Refrigerant is a medium for conveying heat.

Air conditioners transfer heat while circulating refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units.

Although there are various types of refrigerants, R-32 is a new refrigerant currently receiving the most interest.

Because R-32 efficiently conveys heat, it can reduce electricity consumption up to approximately 10% compared to that of air conditioners using refrigerant R-22. Furthermore, compared to the refrigerants widely used today such as R-22 and R-410A, R-32 has a global warming potential (GWP) that is one-third lower and is remarkable for its low environmental impact.

In March 2014, the European Parliament passed the 2014 EU F-Gas Regulation legislation with the key objective of reducing F-Gas emissions by 79% between 2015 and 2030. The overall intention is to cut the availability of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) with a high GWP.

The F-Gas Regulations will have a major impact on the air conditioning sector and any option for the next generation of refrigerant gas must be able to meet the demands of this stringent legislation in reducing the environmental impact of HFCs.

R22 Replacement Solutions are available that provide cost-effective and high energy efficient upgrades for deprecated systems requiring replacement.

Since 1st january 2015 it has been illegal to maintain or repair Air Conditioning Systems that use R22 Refrigerant. However this does not restrict your replacement options and major manufacturers including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Toshiba have developed flexible solutions to meet individual needs.

The benefits of ACS R22 Replacement Solutions are Lower running costs and the most up to date technology. R22 Replacement systems use R410a which has zero ozone depletion potential.

Replacement systems are over 40% more efficient than older R22 Systems.
