R-32 Refrigerant: Proven. Easy. Efficient. Available. The Right Choice for a Greener Climate.

The Next Generation of HVAC Systems use R-32 Refrigerant

What’s

R32

Refrigerant

R-32 is the most balanced refrigerant in terms of environmental impact, energy efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

  • Refrigerant is a medium for conveying heat.

  • Air conditioners transfer heat while circulating refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units.

  • Although there are various types of refrigerants, R-32 is a balanced refrigerant currently receiving attention.
    Because R-32 efficiently conveys heat, it can reduce electricity consumption up to approximately 10% compared to that of air conditioners using refrigerant R-22. Furthermore, compared to the refrigerants widely used today such as R-22 and R-410A, R-32 has a global warming potential (GWP) that is one-third lower and is remarkable for its low environmental impact.

Go Green with R-32 Refrigerant

  • Decarbonization and Electrification — moving towards clean energy: An effective source of heat to comfortably offset older or inefficient sources of heat using fossil fuels
  • Lower GWP refrigerant — reduce emissions at the source: Utilizing a refrigerant with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to conventional refrigerants

Daikin is leading the industry with the switch to the next generation of refrigerants that have a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than R-410A: R-32. R-32 is the A2L refrigerant that’s widely used around the world today. With over 160 million R-32 units made by over 40 manufacturers and installed in more than 90 countries, R-32 is the easy choice and the proven global standard.

In addition, R-32 is the only pure, single-component refrigerant slated to replace the high GWP refrigerant, R-410A. Unlike blended refrigerants, which can change composition, R-32 is easy to top off or clean and reuse on-site. It’s also easy to reclaim and reuse off-site with a simple cleaning process.

Perhaps most importantly, R-32’s excellent thermodynamic properties allow the new Daikin ATMOSPHERA system to be up to 12% higher in SEER and up to 18% higher in HSPF than the Daikin LV Series using R-410A, lowering indirect emissions throughout the lifecycle of the systems. Additionally, because R-32 has a GWP of 675 and requires less charge in certain systems, direct emissions from those systems can be up to 80% lower than similar R-410A systems. The result? Fewer greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, based on Daikin studies.
