The Facts On R410A Refrigerant - Mitsubishi Electric R410A Manual

The
facts
on R410A refrigerant
With more manufacturers introducing systems that use
R410A refrigerant, we've produced this booklet to explain
the hype that currently surrounds R410A and to present you
with the facts.
Handled correctly, many installers have already realised that R410A refrigerant
has some excellent benefits to offer. However, it's being portrayed within
the industry as potentially dangerous to use or, it's being labelled as the only
efficient refrigerant that's available - which simply isn't true.
Whilst R410A can provide some small advantages in efficiency, it is
technology itself that is the largest contributor towards the steady increase
in ever important COP's. A good comparison can be made with cars and
fuel for example: The fact that a car can provide more miles per gallon
today than say, fives years ago, is due to technological advances in the car
rather than the fuel.
The same is true of direct expansion systems, with the need to focus on
efficiency as a whole, not simply the type of refrigerant. How the refrigerant
is used is of paramount importance and good system installation is crucial.
The skills required today, are no different to those that
have always been required and although the
equipment and subsequent numbers may
differ, the need for good practice remains
the same.
