R-32 Refrigerant (HFC, A2L)
R-32 Refrigerant – High-Efficiency HFC (A2L)
R-32 is a next-generation HFC refrigerant increasingly used in residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. With a lower GWP than R-410A and high energy efficiency, R-32 has become a preferred choice for many OEMs in new air conditioners and heat pumps. Classified as A2L (mildly flammable), R-32 should only be used in equipment specifically designed for A2L refrigerants.
Common Applications
- New split-system air conditioners and heat pumps
- Packaged residential A/C equipment
- OEM-specific commercial cooling systems
Cylinder Sizes & Packaging
- 20 lb cylinder (standard service size)
Key Advantages
- Lower GWP than R-410A (environmentally friendlier option)
- High energy efficiency for OEM systems
- Industry adoption in modern A/C and heat pump designs
Important Notes
- Not a drop-in replacement for R-410A. R-32 requires systems specifically engineered for A2L refrigerants.
- Handling & shipping: May require hazmat procedures; always follow SDS and carrier requirements.
- Certification: Purchases may require EPA Section 608 certification; confirm compliance with local and federal regulations.
