Description

Refrix R‑32 Refrigerant Gas

Refrix R‑32 is a single-component HFC refrigerant widely used in new-generation residential and light commercial air conditioning systems. It offers excellent energy efficiency, low global warming potential (GWP ~677), and zero ozone depletion. As a mildly flammable refrigerant (classified A2L), R‑32 provides high cooling capacity and is a key component of many popular blends like R‑410A.

It is quickly becoming the preferred refrigerant in modern AC systems due to its lower environmental impact and performance efficiency.

Key Features:

• ✅ Low Global Warming Potential (~677)

• ✅ Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0)

• ✅ High energy efficiency & heat transfer performance

• ✅ Requires smaller refrigerant charge vs R‑410A

• ✅ A2L Classification – Mildly flammable (use with safety precautions)

Applications:

Usage Guidelines:

• Use with POE lubricants only

• Not retrofittable into R‑410A or R‑22 systems

• Requires special tools and training due to A2L flammability

• Charge in gas or liquid phase (no blend separation)

Technical Properties:

Environmental Compliance:

• Fully compliant with F-Gas & Montreal Protocol

• Considered a low-GWP alternative to R‑410A

• Emissions should still be minimized despite lower GWP

• Must be stored/handled following flammability safety practices

FAQs

1. Is R‑32 better than R‑410A?

Yes, R‑32 offers higher efficiency, lower GWP, and requires less charge compared to R‑410A. It’s also easier to recycle since it’s a single-component gas.

2. Is R‑32 safe to use indoors?

R‑32 is mildly flammable (A2L) but safe when used correctly. Modern AC systems are designed to handle it safely with built-in leak detection and controls.

3. Can R‑32 be used in older R‑410A systems?

No, R‑32 systems require specially designed components and safety features. Retrofitting is not recommended or supported.
