The split AC units will be used to train hundreds of students, lecturers and HVAC&R technicians on the safe handling and installation of natural refrigerants.
Following UL and pending EPA approval of higher charge limits for hydrocarbon-based commercial cases, the EIA would like to see UL pass similar codes for ACs and heat pumps.
The modular cooling system can also operate as a heat pump to provide heating in the colder months.
Daikin Europe is set to launch the new Altherma 4 air-to-water heat pump series at ISH 2023, including models running on natural refrigerant propane.
The Midea brands have greatly reduced the amount of propane refrigerant in compressors.
The acquisition will enhance Panasonic’s commercial AC offering in Europe, while also expanding its heat pump business.
A switch from R32 to R290 would likely incur a small incremental material cost (less than €10).
The Chinese OEM sees growing evidence that R290 will become a serious player in the AC and heat pump market.
The air-cooled iARIES N Inverter liquid chiller has a nominal cooling capacity of 177–334kW (50–95TR).
