R-32 Refrigerant will replace R-410A for Carrier Commercial Scroll Chillers
As part of Carrier's commitment to provide customers with solutions that use the right refrigerant for each application, the company has selected R-32 refrigerant to replace R-410A refrigerant, a high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, in commercial chillers using scroll technology.
According to Carrier, R-32 was chosen for its lower environmental impact, high energy efficiency, wide availability and ease of use. In Europe, the refrigerant will be offered in some scroll chillers beginning in the first half of 2020. Introductions will follow in other regions and all will meet UN Montreal Protocol Kigali Amendment regulations taking effect in 2023.
