Session description

R-454C is a mildly flammable (A2L), non-ozone depleting, low-GWP (148) refrigerant for low, medium and high temperature applications in system installations that is compliant with the latest EU F-Gas regulation and Eco-design Directive. It represents a future-proof long-term solution in commercial refrigeration applications that provides high performance, energy efficiency and sustainability. 
Moving away from common medium and high GWP legacy refrigerants to low-GWP refrigerants requires certain changes and a different approach. No matter using an A1 refrigerant such as R-744 a very high-pressure fluid, a mildly flammable A2L refrigerant like R-454C or a highly flammable A3 alternative like R-290, charge limitations, safety and risk considerations are key elements. Due to its ...
