Daikin’s new Creard R-407H refrigerant is an economical, low GWP blend designed for new refrigeration systems and as a replacement for R-22, R-404A, and R-507 in existing systems.

Refrigerant regulations are another reason why change is coming, as HCFCs will be phased out by 2020, and given their high GWP, HFCs will likely be phased down in the near future as well. At some point, supermarkets will need to start considering low-GWP alternatives, such as HFO blends, as well as so-called “future-proof” refrigerants, such as ammonia, CO₂, or propane.
