New Alternative Refrigerants to R404A

Huayi Compressor Barcelona follows the refrigerant trends and is committed to alternatives to refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP). Apart from an extended range of R290, Huayi Compressor Barcelona has performed several tests with different R404A alternatives trying to find a suitable solution that can comply with the new refrigerant regulations.

The current F-Gas regulation in Europe and the EPA in the United States are limiting the use of high GWP refrigerants in upcoming years. Apart from hydrocarbons, such as R290 and R600a, different alternative refrigerants for the R404A were offered by refrigerant manufacturers.
This paper summarizes all the results found during the test with the alternative refrigerants R449A and R452A.

Guidelines for the use of R290

The increasing use of natural refrigerants in commercial applications such as propane (R290) and isobutene (R600a) is a priority, not only due to the need to replace HFC refrigerants, which have a high impact on the environment, but also because they are more ef?cient in terms of performance and energy consumption.

Huayi Compressor Barcelona believes that R290 represents the best long-term solution as an alternative for the R404A for light commercial applications.

The aim of these guidelines is to provide the necessary information for the use of the R290.

Huayi Compressor Co. Ltd. celebrated 20 years on the Shenzhen Stock Market

Written by Huayi Compressor Barcelona Published in Blog

Huayi Compressor Co. Ltd has been listed for 20 years on the Chinese Stock Market. Since the founding of the company in 1990, we began with the production of small- and medium-sized compressors, becoming today the largest company in the sector with sales of 39 million of units last year.

One of the main strategies of this success is the diversification from Household compressors to Light Commercial Refrigeration. At this new point, while we continue enhancing and consolidating our position in the household and light commercial refrigeration business, we are also looking for new opportunities for further diversification and growth.

Dear Customer,

The refrigeration business is living a period of continuous changes, especially due to new regulations focused on reducing and banning the use of refrigerants with high GWP. In Europe we have the F-Gas regulation and Snap in the USA, in both cases they are targeting the phasing out of HFC.

We still believe that the best option is hydrocarbons, but due to the charge limitation and flammability some markets are looking for alternatives like R449 and R452, among others. At Huayi Compressors Barcelona we are working to approve our compressors with the new blends in order to meet the new market demands.

Another aspect is energy consumption, in Europe we have the Eco-Design directive that will introduce energy labelling for light commercial applications and DOE in the USA. In this case we are also developing more efficient products, mainly working with hydrocarbons, like the U Range and L / P extended models. We are convinced this will be the trend in the upcoming years, lower energy consumption and a wider use of natural refrigerants; based on this, we are committed to developing the most suitable products meeting these two requirements.
