R32 is a synthetic HFC refrigerant designed primarily for use in low charge HVAC systems. It is seen as a suitable alternative to R410A in air conditioning systems designed for R32.
Characteristics
- Superior energy efficiency when compared with R410A
- High refrigeration capacity and thermal conductivity
- Low-pressure drop and smaller tubes by comparison with R410A
- Due to the flammability and higher operating pressures of R32, equipment compatibility must be checked (eg: recovery units and vac pumps must be intrinsically safe). Standard R410A manifold gauges can be used
- Lower density than R410A requires a smaller charge
- The total climate impact from R32 is significantly improved in comparison to R410A
- Not suitable for use in retrofit applications and should only be used in systems specifically designed for R32
Available Sizes
Butla 9 kg
Safety and materials handling
Safety Class: R32 is an A2L refrigerant with a low level of flammability.
