Description
R-454B is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant blend, primarily used as a low global warming potential (GWP) alternative to R-410A in residential and commercial air conditioning systems. It consists of two components: R-32 and R-1234yf. R-454B offers a significantly lower GWP than R-410A while providing similar cooling capacity and energy efficiency. It operates at similar pressure levels, making it a suitable replacement with minimal system modifications. R-454B is mildly flammable (classified as A2L), so it requires careful handling and appropriate safety precautions. Its lower environmental impact and efficiency make it an attractive choice for new systems and retrofits.
- Compatibility:
- Designed for new HVAC systems engineered for R-454B
- Not suitable for retrofitting existing R-410A systems without manufacturer approval
- Key Technical Specifications:
- Composition: 68.9% R-32 and 31.1% R-1234yf
- Cylinder Size: 20 pounds
- Global Warming Potential (GWP): 466
- Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): 0
- ASHRAE Safety Classification: A2L (mildly flammable)
