AHRI-led program simulates real-life conditions in order to develop data and insights into the risks associated with the use of flammable refrigerants.
When replacing R-410A, engineers should consider commercially available, single-component, or azeotrope refrigerants that meet AHRI Standard 700 with zero ODP and a maximum 750 GWP.
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), as the name suggests, are compounds containing hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. They are used for residential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) as refrigerants, by firefighters as a fire suppressant, and in aerosols as propellants.
The amendment is a bipartisan compromise based on the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (S. 2754), a bipartisan bill introduced last year by Sens. Kennedy and Carper that would boost American manufacturing of next-generation refrigerant technologies, promote American innovation, and create tens of thousands of new domestic manufacturing jobs.
Through the activities outlined in the agreement, Refrigerants Australia and AHRI will promote the development of a closer relationship between the Australian and North American HVACR and water heating industries.
Most in the HVACR industry are anxious to find out when equipment containing R-454B will be available on the market, but before that can happen, codes need to be updated in order to allow A2L refrigerants to be used in comfort cooling equipment.
