The world is moving quickly toward new refrigerants that have lower GWP, and Honeywell wants to be a leader in answering that challenge. The company recently introduced a new refrigerant for commercial and industrial refrigeration that is optimized for supermarkets. And at this year’s AHR Expo, Honeywell executives presented an outlook for what’s next in this area.
Solstice N71 (R-471A) is the newest addition to Honeywell’s Solstice solutions line of low-GWP refrigerants. The refrigerant stands out by being both non-flammable and energy-efficient with a GWP of less than 150. Sunita Rai Singh, Honeywell’s general manager of advanced materials and fluorine products, said both these aspects are very important to customers.
