  • Page 6 A brief histor y Since 1985 it’s been well documented that the ozone layer surrounding the earth has been diminishing. Scientific evidence suggests man-made chemicals are responsible for creating the hole in the ozone layer and that they’re likely to add to global ozone depletion.
  • Page 7 O zone Depletion Potential (O DP). R410A is a Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC ) Systems using R410A refrigerant run at a pressure of approximately 1.6 times that of similar systems using R22 and the energy efficiency is comparable. The R410A refrigerant is a 50:50 mixture of R32 and R125.
  • Page 8 R410A in detail R410A is a Zeotropic blend of two refrigerants R32 50% R125 50% The phase change of R410A Pressure Sub-Cooling - Compression mixtures takes place at [bar] - Condenser an almost constant temperature - Expansion - Evaporation during the liquefaction or evaporation process.
  • Page 9 R410A has zero O zone Depletion Potential (O DP) W ith the relatively high density and high efficiency of R410A , it is possible to reduce the size of system components such as condensers, compressors, evaporators and piping, etc. As operating pressures are higher compared to that of R22 and R407c, all system components must all be designed for suitability with R410A.
