Applications of Three Popular Eco-Friendly Refrigerant

The ODP of R32 refrigerant is 0 and the GWP is 675. In 2012, a Japanese air conditioner company took the lead in launching R32 environmentally friendly refrigerant air conditioner. The thermodynamic performance of R32 is similar to that of R410A, the filling volume is 70% of that of R410A, and the cooling capacity of the system is higher than that of R410A. However, the GWP value is too high, and the popularity needs to be improved.

The ODP of R436C refrigerant is 0 and GWP<3. It is developed and produced by Jiangsu Furuizhi. The density of R436C is only about 40% of that of R22, the cooling capacity per unit mass of refrigerant is larger, the cooling time of the equipment is shortened, and the basic electricity saving rate can reach 10%-36%. When replacing the working medium in the refrigeration system using R22, it can be directly charged without modification. At present, it is actively developing markets nationwide and overseas.

In terms of the scale of use, the R290 currently has a wider market range, but the R32 has a wider range of applications. However, R32 has problems such as a high GWP value. The GWP value of R436C is better than the two, and the power saving rate can reach 10%-36%. When choosing, it is necessary to compare multiple parties. Some products are widely used but have many problems, and some products have a small market but great potential. It is worthwhile to find a refrigerant that really suits your business situation.
