PRODUCT NEWS Latest product news from: Climalife
R-452A (Opteon XP44) is a HFO blend that is designed to be a very close match for the properties of R-404A.
With this in mind it has been chosen and approved by a number of equipment manufacturers as it allows the use of their current product range but with a lower GWP refrigerant than R-404A.
Unlike other R-404A replacements, discharge temperatures with R-452A across the operating range are a close match to that of R-404A. Plus, although the GWP is higher than other R-404A replacements it still has a GWP that is 45% lower than that of R-404A.
R-452A is now being specifi ed as an alternative for R-404A in new equipment in transport refrigeration applications and small condensing units. Retrofi t in such systems is also possible to R-452A and provides a suitable solution for R404A where other lower GWP alternatives cannot be used.
Climalife has Opteon XP44 in stock with technical help and support for customers.

Bitzer has launched the latest update to its electronics service tool (BEST software). Refrigeration and service engineers can quickly and easily operate all Bitzer IQ products from the PC with the software.
At the end of 2016, Bitzer updated the tool to version 2.7, adding key innovations. Among other
options, it allows the compressor’s current operation as well as historical data logs to be shown graphically.
The units can also now be switched to American and imperial measurements.
Additional refrigerants can now be selected for Bitzer components including R450A, R513A, R1234yf and R1234ze in connection with CS compact screw compressors and with the protection device SE-i1 or R513A and R1234yf for the confi guration of frequency-controlled CSV compact screw compressors.
The update also includes the compressors CSVH26-200MY-40M, CSVW37-240Y-40A and CSVW38-290Y-40A from the same series. For the CM-RC-01 operating module in combination with ECOLINE reciprocating compressors, the refrigerants R1234yf and R1234ze have been added.
For the condensing units of the ECOSTAR series, the help text for the list of alarms has also been optimised. The update can be downloaded directly from the Bitzer home page.

Aspen Pumps has launched the fi rst on- demand condensate pump - the Micro-v i4. The next generation of condensate pump, the Micro-v i4 only operates as needed and boasts cost and energy saving benefi ts, as
well as quiet running and a longer life with a two-year warranty. The mini pump does not use a breather tube, so its saves space when installing into the tightest of locations. With a plug-and-play installation, it can be installed in multiple orientations and operates on-demand so is never continually running and is ideal for projects where energy effi ciency is a must. Designed with intelligent sophisticated controls and clever sensors that collect data, the Micro-v i4 adjusts switching levels and motor speed depending on the fl ow rate.
Suitable for high wall split systems, ducted units and fl oor standing and chassis AC units, the mini pump is ideal for installing directly inside the air conditioning unit. It does not use a breather tube and only one connector is needed when installing it in high wall units. At only 19dBA it is almost silent in operation.

Big Foot Systems has launched the Lock ‘n’ Load Frame. Designed to support mini split outdoor air conditioning (AC) units Lock ‘n’ Load is a freestanding, non- penetrative frame. Off ering installers an off -the-shelf support solution to speed up AC installations on site stand set-up takes under 15 minutes. The Lock ‘n’ Load Frame is a simple AC support solution for engineers who have previously fabricated DIY supports out of struts as a quick fi x on site.
Simple to fi t, it boasts an easy push and lock system speeding up on site assembly, saving valuable time on an AC installation. Conveniently available from local distributor branches boxed and ready to use on site, this lightweight pre-fabricated solution allows engineers to collect and carry the frame to the project site and construct it easily and simply, saving engineers time and hassle.
