Introduction of R515B Refrigerant

R515B refrigerant is a special refrigerant for heat pumps, carbon peak, and carbon neutral refrigerant. The ASHRAE classification of this product is A1, which can meet the requirements of long-term energy efficiency and global warming potential. Compared with traditional refrigerants, the GWP value of this product can be reduced by up to 65%. In addition, the outlet water temperature is also higher, up to 100 degrees Celsius.

Application of R515B Refrigerant

R515B non-flammable refrigerant, which has a GWP value of 299, claims its new turbo compressor TGS490, which is suitable for water-cooled and air-cooled chillers. According to the authoritative Bitzer refrigerant report, the cooling capacity per unit volume of R515B is also more than 20% lower than that of R134a.

Storage and transportation of R515B refrigerant

Honeywell R-515B refrigerant steel cylinders are pressurized containers and should be kept away from fire, heat sources, and direct sunlight during storage, and usually stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated warehouse. When handling, it should be loaded and unloaded lightly to prevent damage to cylinders, valves, and other accessories.

Advantages of R515B refrigerant

With safety standards and building codes restricting the use of A2L and A3 refrigerants, chiller and heat pump manufacturers can immediately use R515B refrigerant. R515B’s similar product design to R1234ze will provide OEMs with a long-term solution that is flexible for both A1 and A2L refrigerants.
