Refrigerant features low-global-warming potential for chillers and heat pumps
ORLANDO, Fla. — Honeywell announced the launch of Solstice N15 (R-515B), a new, A1 nonflammable and low-global-warming potential (LGWP) refrigerant replacement for R-134a for use in chillers and heat pumps. The new refrigerant, with a GWP of 299 (AR5), which will be commercially available this year, was unveiled at the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration (AHR) Expo in Orlando, Fla.
Solstice N15 has been adopted by compressor manufacturer Danfoss for use in its new Turbocor® TGS490 compressor, which can be used in air or water-cooled chiller applications for air conditioning. The Turbocor TGS490 received the AHR Expo 2020 Innovation Award in the “Green Building” category.
