Kanion Co with Puron Advance R-454B, the HVAC Refrigerant of the future trend
Kanion Group
Deluxe, Rex, Premium, and Aeolus, which provide eco-friendly air conditioning while ensuring optimal indoor comfort.
Addressing the Evolving Regulatory Landscape
The HVAC industry has long relied on Puron, or R-410A, as the primary refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pump systems. However, this hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) compound has come under increasing scrutiny due to its high global warming potential (GWP). As the world becomes more conscious of the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions, regulatory bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and international agreements such as the Kigali Amendment have set forth strict guidelines for the phasedown of high-GWP refrigerants.
Kanion Co's Innovative Response: Puron Advance
Recognizing the urgent need for a sustainable alternative, Kanion Co has introduced its game-changing refrigerant, Puron Advance, also known as R-454B. This innovative compound represents a significant departure from the industry's reliance on high-GWP refrigerants, positioning Kanion Co as a true pioneer in the pursuit of eco-friendly HVAC technologies.
Puron Advance boasts a remarkably lower global warming potential compared to its predecessor, R-410A. While R-410A has a GWP of 2,088, Puron Advance's GWP is a mere 467 – a staggering 78% reduction in environmental impact. This significant improvement in sustainability is achieved through Puron Advance's innovative chemical composition, which features a blend of hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
Adapting to Industry Regulations
The impetus behind Kanion Co's effort of Puron Advance can be traced back to the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding refrigerants. In 2016, the landmark Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol set the stage for a global effort to reduce the use of high-GWP HFCs, with a goal of cutting their production and consumption by more than 80% over the next three decades.
As a signatory to the Kigali Amendment, the United States has been at the forefront of implementing domestic policies to align with these international objectives. The EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, for instance, has been instrumental in identifying and approving low-GWP refrigerants as acceptable alternatives to the high-GWP compounds like R-410A.
