R134A Refrigerant
R134a Refrigerant is a common refrigerant that is used in many air conditioning applications.
Due to the nature of R134a properties which is of a HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant, it does not have any ozone depletion potential and has little greenhouse effect. R134a is a good replacement for R12 which has been used in a number of applications.
The manufacture and use of refrigerants in air-conditioners that cause ozone depletion and global warming are regulated under the Montreal Protocol and the Kyoto Protocol.
R410A Refrigerant
R410A Refrigerant is widely used as a refrigerant in many air conditioning applications.
Due to the nature of R410a properties which is of a HFC (hydrofluorocarbons) refrigerant, it does not have any ozone depletion potential (Zero ODP) and thus introduced as a greener choice for R22 for use in both residential and commercial air-conditioning products.
The manufacture and use of refrigerants in air-conditioners that cause ozone depletion and global warming are regulated under the Montreal Protocol and the Kyoto Protocol. Eventually conventional refrigerants such as HCFC (example R22) will be abolished within 2030 in both developed and developing countries.
R32 Refrigerant
R32 is a common refrigerant that is used in various heating ventilation air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment and is efficient in conveying heat. It can lower the electricity consumption up to an estimate of 10% compared to air-conditioners that use refrigerant R22. R32 has a global warming potential (GWP) of 675, which is nearly a third lower than R410a.
