Parker Hannifin, Chemours form Opteon™ XL41 Collaboration
Parker Hannifin and Chemours advance the global adoption of R-454B
WASHINGTON, Mo. — R-454B, offered commercially by Chemours as Opteon XL41, is a mildly flammable A2L refrigerant blend of 68.9 percent R-32 and 31.1 percent R-1234yf. Among the replacement candidates for R-410A with <750 GWP (global warming potential) and comparable design and performance characteristics, R-454B boasts a GWP of 466, making it a very attractive choice for minimizing environmental impact and complying with future regulation.
“With this alliance, Sporlan Division helps address critical industry needs such as chemical compatibility of flow control components and optimizing the component performance within the systems,” said Raghu Kunapuli, Sporlan’s Climate Controls business development manager. “There will also be a collaborative effort towards training for a safe and proper transition to A2Ls.”
