Refrigerant R32 is a modern and eco-friendly refrigerant widely used in air conditioning systems and heat pumps. Known for its high efficiency and lower environmental impact, R32 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, significantly lower than older refrigerants like R410A. It offers superior cooling capacity and energy efficiency, requiring less volume to achieve the same performance. Additionally, R32 has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), making it a more sustainable choice. Although mildly flammable, proper handling and installation ensure safety. Overall, R32 is a preferred refrigerant for its balance of performance, efficiency, and reduced environmental footprint.
