R-410A Alternative Receives A1 Designation From ASHRAE
Honeywell’s Solstice N41 is designed for use in stationary cooling equipment
Honeywell’s Solstice® N41 has received the official designation of A1 for R-466A by ASHRAE. This nonflammable, reduced GWP, R-410A replacement refrigerant developed for stationary air conditioning systems will be commercially available in 2020. In developing this solution, Honeywell scientists devoted years of research and development to solve a key problem facing the HVAC industry.
“We developed Solstice N41 to address the many regulatory and safety challenges facing the industry,” said George Koutsaftes, president of Honeywell Advanced Materials. “This product is the first nonflammable refrigerant developed as an R-410A alternative and is also better for the environment, energy efficient, and cost-effective for the end user with minimal conversion required. Safety is paramount and the properties of Solstice N41 make it a groundbreaking technology for the industry.”
