Partnership to drive A1 R410A replacement
H
oneywell has joined forces with Sanhua, a manufacturer that commercialises Solstice N41 (R466A) for use in existing and new
HVAC applications.
R 466A is a nonflammable and lower global- warming-potential (GWP) refrigerant designed to replace R410A in stationary air conditioning systems.
Chris LaPietra, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Stationary Refrigerants, s aid: “We specifically designed Solstice N41 to solve industry challenges and comply with regulations – this will be a revolutionary solution once it is ready for adoption later this year. This partnership with Sanhua reaffirms our commitment to delivering a safe, energy efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative to R 410A.”
Once commercially available in late 2019, Solstice N41 will be one of the first A1
nonflammable, lower GWP R410A replacements offered for stationary air conditioning systems.
Solstice N41 also offers a GWP that is 65% lower than R410A.
Huang Ningjie, vice president and chief scientist of Sanhua Holding Group, said: “The n onflammability attributes of Solstice N41 make it a game-changer for the HVAC industry. We have achieved significant progress on qualifications of HVAC critical components for use in air c onditioner refrigerants using Solstice N41, and t he assessment is expected to be completed w ithin this year. We’re well positioned to serve the industry as it prepares to transition to Solstice N41 later this year.”
N41 significantly reduces the need fo r additiona l design and eliminates the need to incorporate a ny sensors typically required for minimising flammability risk. Early results also indicate t his nonflammable, lower GWP alternative to R410A will eliminate the need for specialised contractor training for flammability mitigation – an advantage for the industry as it struggles to recruit and retain certified contractors.
