Danfoss has added to its portfolio of low-GWP (global warming potential) compressors by introducing an option to use R-513A, and expanded its operating map range to cover low-lift applications for the TT Series compressor family. R-513A is a low-GWP, non-flammable (A1) alternative refrigerant to R-134a that allows chiller manufacturers to meet future HFC regulations, such as the European Union’s F-gas regulation. All Turbocor® TT Series compressors produced starting in December 2017 with compressor firmware version 4.1 will be compatible with both R-134a and R-513A.
