R32 Refrigerant: The Future of Sustainable Air Conditioning
R32, also known as Difluoromethane, is rapidly becoming the refrigerant of choice for modern air conditioning systems due to its superior performance and environmental benefits. As a next-generation refrigerant, R32 offers significant advantages over traditional options such as R410A and R22. R32 stands out as a sustainable solution for both residential and commercial cooling needs.
Key Features and Benefits:
✅ Environmentally friendly: With a GWP of 675, R32 is significantly more environmentally friendly than other commonly used refrigerants, such as R410A, which has a GWP of 2,088. This makes R32 a key factor in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.
✅ Energy efficiency: R32 refrigerant has higher energy efficiency, allowing air conditioning units to operate more efficiently with lower power consumption. This means that users will see lower electricity bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
✅ Performance and reliability: Systems using R32 can achieve better cooling capacity and faster temperature adjustment times, ensuring optimal comfort even during peak summer months. In addition, R32's stability and reliability make it a reliable choice for long-term use.
✅ Easy to use and maintain: R32 is easier to handle and recycle than many other refrigerants, simplifying maintenance procedures and contributing to more sustainable life cycle management.
R32 physical properties
Main Application
1.Home and commercial air conditioning (HVAC)
- Split air conditioners: used for home and small commercial air conditioners, such as wall-mounted, cabinet, central air conditioners, etc.
- VRF multi-split system: In large buildings, shopping malls and office buildings, R32 gradually replaces R410A to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
- Heat pump system: air source heat pump used in winter and summer to improve heating and cooling efficiency.
2. Industrial and commercial refrigeration
- Cold storage and refrigeration equipment: used for small cold storage, food preservation, medical refrigeration and other applications.
- Beverage refrigeration equipment: such as commercial ice machines, cold drink cabinets, refrigerated display cabinets, etc.
3. New energy vehicle air conditioning
- R32 is used in the on-board air conditioning system of new energy vehicles (EV, hybrid vehicles). Due to its high efficiency and environmental protection characteristics, it has become one of the alternatives to R134a.

FAQ
Is this an empty tank or is it pre-filled with other gases?
This canister contains 25 pounds of refrigerant.
Is R410A flammable?
R404A does not contain chlorine (CFCs or HCFCs), so it does not damage the ozone layer (ODP=0)
How to charge R404A?
R404A is a mixed refrigerant (non-azeotropic mixture) and must be added to the system in liquid form during charging to prevent component separation.
Why does the refrigerant not work?
1. Refrigerant Leakage
- Cause: There may be leaks in the system, causing refrigerant to escape, which prevents the system from properly exchanging heat.
- Solution: Inspect all connections, pipes, and components for cracks or corrosion. Use appropriate leak detection tools (e.g., nitrogen leak detection) to locate the leak, and repair the leakage point. Afterward, recharge the system with the required amount of refrigerant.
2. Insufficient Refrigerant
- Cause: If the refrigerant level is too low, the system may not function properly or may not work at all. This often occurs after installation or maintenance, where refrigerant was not charged correctly.
- Solution: Check the refrigerant pressure and ensure the correct amount is present in the system. If insufficient, top up the refrigerant to the required level.
3. Incompatible Refrigerant
- Cause: The system may require a specific type of refrigerant, and using an incorrect refrigerant can prevent the system from operating properly.
- Solution: Ensure that the correct refrigerant type is being used. For example, if the system is designed for R410A, do not use R22 or other refrigerants. Check the equipment manual to confirm the required refrigerant type.
4. Compressor Failure
- Cause: The compressor is the core component in the refrigerant cycle. If the compressor fails, the refrigerant cannot circulate and pressurize, resulting in no cooling effect.
- Solution: Check if the compressor is functioning properly by inspecting electrical connections and protective devices. If necessary, repair or replace the compressor.
5. Condenser or Evaporator Blockage
- Cause: Dirt, oil, or frost buildup on the condenser or evaporator can reduce heat exchange efficiency, leading to poor or no cooling performance.
- Solution: Clean the condenser and evaporator surfaces by removing dust, oil, or ice buildup. Ensure proper airflow and check if the condenser fan is working correctly.
6. Expansion Valve or Throttling Device Malfunction
- Cause: The expansion valve or throttling device regulates refrigerant flow. If these components malfunction, it can disrupt refrigerant flow, impacting the system’s cooling performance.
- Solution: Check the expansion valve or throttling device for proper operation. If faulty, repair or replace the damaged component.
7. Thermostat Failure
- Cause: If the thermostat is malfunctioning, it may fail to trigger the system to start or operate properly, resulting in no cooling.
- Solution: Check the thermostat settings to ensure they are correct. If the thermostat is damaged, consider replacing it.
8. System Contamination or Dirty Components
- Cause: Contaminants like moisture, air, or other foreign particles can affect the flow and heat exchange properties of the refrigerant.
- Solution: Perform a thorough cleaning of the system, remove contaminants, and ensure that dry refrigerant is used for charging.
9. External Environmental Factors
- Cause: Extreme external temperatures, either too high or too low, can affect the system's ability to operate properly. For example, air conditioning systems may not cool effectively in very hot conditions.
- Solution: Ensure the refrigerant system is used within the environmental temperature range specified by the manufacturer. Avoid using the system in extreme conditions.
10. System Design Issues
- Cause: A poorly designed or improperly installed system may cause refrigerant to fail to circulate properly.
- Solution: Inspect the system design to ensure all components are installed correctly. If design flaws are found, adjustments or component replacements may be necessary.
Summary:
When refrigerant is not working, it’s essential to check for leaks, insufficient refrigerant, or malfunctioning components. Inspect key parts such as the compressor, expansion valve, and evaporator for issues. In cases of more complex problems, it’s recommended to consult with a professional technician for a more detailed diagnosis and repair.
Is R404A flammable?
R404A is a non-flammable refrigerant and is safe under normal use conditions and will not burn or explode.
What is the main use of R404A?
R404A is widely used in supermarket freezers, cold storage, refrigerated transportation equipment and other applications that require a low temperature environment. It is one of the alternatives to traditional refrigerants such as R502 and R22.
