Synthetic Refrigeration

Synthetic refrigeration is man-made chemical compounds used as working fluids in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They absorb heat from one area and release it to another, enabling cooling.

R454C (A2L Refrigerant)

HFO-based A2L synthetic refrigeration is well below the Global Warming Potential (GWP) thresholds set by upcoming regulations, making them a viable option for businesses looking to comply with new environmental standards.

R515B (A1 Refrigerant)

R515B is an A1, low-Global Warming Potential (GWP) hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) synthetic refrigeration blend. It is designed as a replacement for R134A. It’s non ozone depleting and offers a good match for R-134a in terms of capacity and efficiency.

Synthetic Refrigeration and AIM Act Compliance

Synthetic refrigeration solutions evolve to meet new environmental standards set by the AIM Act. This legislation mandates the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants due to their high Global Warming Potential (GWP). Starting January 1, 2025, manufacturers and importers must stop producing and importing products that use higher-GWP refrigerants.

Transition to Low-GWP Refrigerants

The industry complies with these regulations by transitioning to alternative refrigerants with lower GWP. These include CO₂, A2L, ammonia, and propane. These refrigerants not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance system efficiency and reliability.

Preparing for Change

Businesses must prepare for these changes by ensuring their refrigeration systems use low-GWP refrigerants. They need to update equipment, train technicians, and follow new safety standards. By embracing these advancements, companies stay ahead of regulatory requirements and contribute to a sustainable future.
