The Chemours announced that Carrier Transicold Europe located in Rueil-Malmaison, France is collaborating with Chemours to specify and adopt an Opteon XL low global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerant to replace R-452A in transport refrigeration in 2021.
Opteon XL HFO refrigerants are the lowest GWP and long-term options under F-Gas Regulation for transport refrigeration reducing CO2 emissions by upto 85 per cent when compared to R-452A. By collaborating with Chemours to select an Opteon XL refrigerant, Carrier Transicold Europe demonstrates its commitment to provide customers with the optimal combination of low environmental impact, energy use, performance, safety, and longevity refrigerants.
“As the European F-Gas regulation continues to move the HVACR industry towards more environmentally sustainable solutions, it is critical to provide lower GWP options to equipment manufacturers around the world,” said Diego Boeri, Vice President of Chemours Fluorochemicals.
“Carrier is committed to providing efficient, sustainable solutions for its customers,” said Bertrand Gueguen, President, International Truck Trailer, Carrier Transicold. “The selection of a low-GWP refrigerant is the next logical step in the evolution of our industry.”
