R410A refrigerant gas is an HFC refrigerant blend for light / stationary air-conditioning units and heat pumps. Thanks to its temperature glide, it is also suitable for some centrifugal compressors.
R410A refrigerant gas applications and use
R410A refrigerant gas is suitable for new high-pressure systems, such as water-cooling equipment, cabinet units, close control units and cooling devices in comfort air-conditioning systems. The refrigerant is used in many commercial and industrial refrigeration applications.
The drawbacks of R410A include its high compression pressure and degree of superheat.
The EU F-gas Regulation restricts the use of refrigerants with a GWP > 2,500 for servicing and maintenance purposes from 1 January 2020. The Regulation also imposes restrictions on the GWP values of refrigerants used in certain applications. However, the use of refrigerants with a GWP above 2,500 is prohibited only in domestic refrigerators and freezers. This means that R410A refrigerant gas can still be used freely in air-conditioning equipment.
Alternative refrigerants to R410A refrigerant gas
Replacements include R452B, R454B and 455A.
