What do you know about the HVAC R- 22 refrigerants phase-down? Why are they the villain all of a sudden? Why has the world gathered against them overnight? Well, this move wasn’t really sudden, to begin with. It was very much planned and is moving on just as intended. Bidding goodbye to R-20 and R-22 refrigerant was imminent and therefore all of us need to be well prepared for their departure.
Freon, as these refrigerants are called have has been used for decades and gained popularity primarily due to lack of efficient alternatives at the time.
The R-22 refrigerant actually begins its run as the R-20 refrigerant, which is very commonly referred to as chloroform. Despite it being completely organic, it is very much harmful to our environment. It produces a sweet smell and has been used to formulate refrigerants, anesthetics, pesticides, and has been classified by several governments as an extremely dangerous substance.
R-22 refrigerant which is currently manufactured with R-20 as its main component finds its use steadily increasing in underdeveloped or developing countries but developed countries are on their way to phase it out because of its adverse effects to our environment.
Once useful and efficient the R-20 and R-22 have served their purpose and at the same time have proved extremely dangerous (in heavy quantities) to the environment and humans as well. Experts soon realized that it’s steadily destroying the ozone layer and this is why need an alternative.
Knock Knock! Who’s There? It’s Bluon Energy!
TDX 20 by Bluon Energy was specifically designed to work in the same systems as the ones that used the R-20. TDX 20 by Bluon Energy doesn’t suffer from the same pitfalls as Freon did and thus has presented itself as a viable alternative to the previous generation refrigerants in the market. Did you know that a system with Bluon can experience a 25% efficiency boost without any investment in the equipment whatsoever? Yes, this and a lot more makes this an ideal alternative to the previous generation refrigerants.
