He noted that compressor oil composition and characteristics can be another design consideration. “While A2L compressors employ the same type of oils as used by R-410A compressors, material ...

Ensuring that your tools like vacuum pumps and recovery machines are listed for use with an A2L will be important, due to R-454B and R-32 being slightly more flammable than R-410A. For existing units, ...

If we compare this refrigerant change to the R-22 change in 2010, we can assume that in five to eight years, it is going to become too expensive to repair refrigerant-related issues on 410A equipment.

We can try to repair the 410a system’s but in the event they need a new one, they have to transition to the 454 refrigerants,” said Treadwell.

Hudson Technologies partners with RMI to launch pivotal report comparing the climate impact of R-410A refrigerant reclamation to the manufacture of virgin refrigerants. WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Sept ...

With the phasedown of R-410A refrigerant starting Jan. 1, 2025, the residential HVAC market will see some big changes in the coming years. As part of the technology transition, newly purchased and ...

Recent advances in the study of refrigerant and lubricant oil solubility have significantly enhanced our understanding of the interactions between low molecular weight refrigerant molecules and ...
