Honeywell goes low GWP News 7
HONEYWELL HAS
LAUNCHED new lower global- warming-potential (GWP) products for applications ranging from supermarket refrigeration to industrial cooling.
The new products expand the company’s Solstice line of hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) refrigerants, blowing agents, aerosol propellants and solvents. The firm says that its Solstice products offer lower global warming potentials with similar or better cooling performance when compared to previous generation products and help its
customers to comply with F-gas Regulation, Ecodesign and other European environmental regulations.
Julien Soulet, business director for Honeywell’s Fluorine Products business in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India, said: “Each year, the world uses more than 100 thousand tonnes of refrigerant, enough to keep food fresh in 240,000 supermarkets and
to cool more than 300,000 commercial buildings. Honeywell is committed to continuing to invest in the development and introduction of new offerings, to make it easier for industry to adopt and use alternatives to higher global warming potential refrigerants.”
Honeywell’s offerings
include: Solstice zd (R1233zd), a non-flammable HFO refrigerant with a GWP equal to 1, for use in low pressure centrifugal chillers; Solstice ze (R1234ze), a HFO refrigerant that can be used in equipment that traditionally used R134a; Solstice N13 (R450A) a HFO blend for chillers, medium- temperature applications such as supermarket display cases and self-contained refrigeration units that require a non-flammable refrigerant solution; and Solstice N40 (R448A): a HFO blend for low- and medium-temperature refrigeration equipment such as supermarket freezer cases or transport refrigeration.
Emerson supports Opteon
EMERSON CLIMATE TECHNOLOGIES has approved DuPont Opteon XP40 (R449A) and XP10 (R513A) for use in a wide range of its scroll and semi-hermetic compressors. This approval represents a significant milestone for Opteon refrigerants as it paves the way for use in new and existing compressors for a wide range of refrigeration applications.
Opteon XP40 is a new low GWP non-flammable replacement for R404A and R507 refrigerants. XP40 has more than 60% lower GWP and significantly increased energy efficiency compared to R404A and R507. Opteon XP10 is an optimised new low GWP, azeotropic, non- flammable replacement for R134a with more than 55% lower GWP and comparable properties and performance. Kathryn McCord, global business director, DuPont Fluorochemicals said: “Emerson’s approval of
Opteon XP40 and XP10 for their compressors sets the stage for these new low GWP refrigerants to become refrigerants of choice in refrigeration and other applications.”
“It is critical that our customers have tested, proven and more sustainable alternatives to refrigerants that have been targeted for delisting,” said Rajan Rajendran, vice president, Systems Innovation Center and Sustainability for Emerson Climate Technologies, in reference to the EPA proposal to ban R404A and R507 refrigerants from specific new and retrofit applications by 2016. “To help our customers lessen the resource constraints and costs associated with a shift of this magnitude, we have been working to develop products and equipment that will not only comply with this delisting proposal, but also those in the foreseeable future.”
