Visit www.carrier.com Range allows customers to anticipate compliance with Ecodesign 2021 requirements and support F-Gas phase-down C arrier AquaSnap scroll chiller range is now available with R-32 refrigerant, which improves performance and reduces direct greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%, compared with the previous range using R-410A refrigerant. The innovative air-cooled range meets requirements for the European F-Gas phase-down of HFC refrigerants and Ecodesign requirements for 2021. Carrier selected R-32 refrigerant, which has a low global warming potential (GWP) of 675, for use in commercial scroll chiller ranges. R-32 has a GWP that is two-thirds less than the GWP of the current R-410A version and this change, combined with a signicant system refrigerant charge reduction up to 30% allows for an exceptional 80% reduction in direct greenhouse gas emissions. The AquaSnap range reaches an outstanding Seasonal Energy Efciency Ratio (SEER12/7) of up to 5.33 and a seasonal coefcient of performance (SCOP) of up to 3.77.
