R-32 on its own has a high discharge temperature which can limit its operating envelope without some type of injection. R-454b however is an easier refrigerant to handle and offers similar properties to R-410a, making it a cost-effective &amp; easy to use solution in new equipment without major modifications being necessary, ideal for industrial process applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">R-454b also has a lower GWP of 466 compared to R-32 at 675 and has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Next Generation Refrigerants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst the next generation of refrigerants balance the needs of safety and reduction in carbon footprint, the new trade-off is the development and cost of the equipment to cope with the increased pressures required for these refrigerants to work. As a direct replacement for R-410A, R-454B operates at a slightly lower pressure whereas R-32 requires a slightly higher pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Next generation refrigerants deliver improvements in the coefficient of performance (COP), the ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work required or energy usage of the compressor. This comes with a slight flammability trade-off having some implications on chiller placement and maximum charge (hence capacity). It also means components need to be compatible with flammable refrigerants, to ensure they can\u2018t be considered an ignition source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">R-32 on its own has a high discharge temperature which can limit its operating envelope without some type of injection.
