Daikin, world’s first company introducing a new generation of air cooled scroll chiller series with refrigerant R-32.

Daikin is continuously leading in chiller technology, striving again for innovation. With the new generation of chillers and heat pumps with R-32, Daikin has extended the Bluevolution range to larger capacities, allowing commercial applications as well to benefit from from the use of R-32 refrigerant.

Why has Daikin introduced R-32 models?

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of R-32 is only 675. Only one third compared to a commonly used refrigerant such as R-410A. Thanks to the lower flammability classification (R-32 falls into the class A2L category in ISO817), it can be safely used in many applications - chilled water systems included. Then, as a single component refrigerant, it can be easily recycled and reused - another environmental plus in its favour. 

Why choose R-32 refrigerant

As a matter of fact, R-32 refrigerant is considered the most balanced refrigerant in terms of Environmental Impact, Energy Efficiency, Safety and Cost-Effectiveness for AC and Heat Pump equipment.

Let’s start analyzing how R-32 responds to the main aspects to consider when choosing refrigerant: affordability, environmental friendliness and safety.

  • Sustainability

    R-32 has zero Ozone Depletion Potential, while its GWP (Global Warming Potential) is 675, one-third lower than R-410A. It can reduce the charging volume by 30% compared to R-410A. All that can result in a 76% decrease in CO2 emissions compared to conventional technology.

    R-32 can be easily recycled. It can be recovered during maintenance operations and then reused.

  • Energy and cost efficiency

    Because R-32 efficiently conveys heat, it can significantly reduce electricity consumption compared to equipment using R-410A.

    R-32 is easy and inexpensive to install and maintain in time, it allow for compact cost-efficient designs and minimizes overall investment costs reducing systems’ operations and maintenance costs.

  • Safety

    R-32 is non-toxic and is classified as a Class A2L (Low flammable) refrigerant as per the International Standard ISO817:2014

    ISO 817:2014 segregates the flammability of refrigerants into 4 categories:
    Class 1 (no flame propagation), Class A2L (Lower flammability), Class 2 (Flammable) and Class 3 (higher flammability).

An insight on Daikin’s refrigerant policy and response to new needs​

 ​

Refrigerants are more than ever necessary since the cooling and heating needs of our world are growing. While refrigerant solutions of the past may have had consequences on today’s environment, it is important to find future-proof solutions to current challenges now. That is Daikin’s main goal. Contributing to mitigating refrigerants environmental impact with a comprehensive approach throughout refrigerant and equipment lifecycle. ​

When choosing a refrigerant, the main aspects to consider are usually safety, affordability, and environmental friendliness. It is a matter of balance between these different aspects and factors. Of course, choices might differ depending on the application, as a single perfect choice for any application simply doesn’t exist. But the recent changes introduced by new international regulations have led to new developments in the world of refrigerants, which has been moving towards lower GWP refrigerants in the recent years. ​

Daikin, as company who has a unique expertise coming from manufacturing and producing both refrigerants and equipment, has identified R-32 refrigerant as the most balanced refrigerant in terms of Environmental Impact, Energy Efficiency, Safety (R-32 is classified as a A2L - low flammability) and Cost-Effectiveness for AC and Heat Pump equipment. That is why Daikin believes in R-32.​
