What is R32?

R32, a refrigerant with 68% lower global warming potential than the commonly used 410A, is a conscientious option for AC manufacturers.

The 3 Core Advantages of R32 Refrigerant

1. Environmental Benefits

• Greener: A Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, which is nearly 70% lower than that of traditional R-410A, significantly reducing its climate impact.
• Ozone-Safe: An Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero, meaning it does not harm the Earth's protective ozone layer.

2. Efficiency & Cost Benefits

• Higher Efficiency: Up to 10-12% more energy-efficient than R-410A, resulting in more powerful cooling/heating and lower electricity use.
• Requires Less Refrigerant: Systems need approximately 20-30% less refrigerant by volume to achieve the same performance, making it more economical.
• Long-Term Savings: Higher efficiency directly translates to lower monthly electricity bills.

3. Usage & Maintenance Benefits

• Single Component: R32 is a pure substance, not a blend. This makes it easier to handle during installation, servicing, and recharging.
• Easy to Recycle: As a single-component refrigerant, it is much simpler and more economical to recycle and reuse than blended alternatives.
