The industry is gradually moving away from conventional R-410A and transcritical CO2 refrigerants towards a new refrigerant classification called A2L. These newer refrigerants are characterized by their low toxicity, minimal flammability, and reduced potential for contributing to global warming compared to commonly used alternatives.

A key advantage of A2L refrigerants is their minimal environmental impact, offering a 99% decrease in global warming potential (GWP) and lower lifecycle emissions compared to other refrigerants. Apart from being environmentally conscious, A2L refrigerants also deliver enhanced energy efficiency compared to HFC refrigerants, potentially leading to energy savings for consumers and HVAC businesses.
