A2L refrigeration technology

Refrigeration according to ASHRAE regulations

A2L refrigerants are a new class of gases characterised by low global warming potential (GWP) and slight flammability. They fall into the A2L category according to the ASHRAE refrigerant safety classification, which means they have low toxicity and reduced flammability compared to traditional refrigerants.

  • Energy efficiency: A2L refrigerants offer improved energy efficiency in low-load refrigeration systems.
  • Low environmental impact: With a significantly lower GWP than traditional HFC refrigerants, A2L refrigerants are a more environmentally friendly option.
  • Regulatory compliance: They help comply with international regulations, such as the European F-Gas.
  • Regulation, which requires a reduction in the use of high GWP refrigerants.

A2L refrigerants are designed for use in a variety of refrigeration applications, including commercial and industrial systems. They are suitable for cold rooms, chillers and HVAC systems, especially in sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals and logistics.

The use of A2L refrigerants is regulated by international standards that promote safety and emissions control. In Europe, the F-Gas Regulation and the EN378 standard are key to ensuring the safe and efficient installation of these refrigerants.

A2L refrigeration systems are designed to handle the slight flammability of these refrigerants. This involves additional safety measures, such as leak detection systems and enhanced ventilation, to ensure safe operation at all times.

Opting for A2L refrigerants is a strategic decision for companies looking for a sustainable and efficient long-term solution. With a lower carbon footprint and low GWP, A2Ls are aligned with global sustainability goals and evolving refrigeration regulations.
