Chemours Company adheres to DuPont85 years of accumulation and guidance in the refrigeration industry
Chemours and Refrigeration
Chemours adheres to DuPont's excellence85 years of refrigerant leadership and innovation capability, Freon is a fluorine based refrigerant ™ (Flulian) ™） The discoverer is also the pioneer of the fluorine chemical industry. Chemours has been committed to promoting the transition from chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants to new refrigerants that do not damage the ozone layer and have low global warming potential, upholding its leadership position and commitment in the global refrigeration industry.
Today, Chemours is a global leader inThe main manufacturer of products using HFO 1234yf as raw material, leading the world in phasing out high global warming potential products through practice.
As the world's second-largest economy, the demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solutions in the Chinese market has been increasing in recent years, "said Mr. Diego Boeri, Global Director of Chemours Fluorochemicals Business
Optimized product architecture with extremely low global warming potentialOpteon ™） Product series
At the exhibition, Chemours announced its new brand architecture to the Chinese market. After optimization and integration, Chemours's refrigerant products will be included inTwo main brand camps, namely the flagship brand of low global warming potential refrigerants - Opteon ™ (Outeon) ™） And the flagship brand Freon, which includes traditional products such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) ™ (Flulian) ™）。 In the past, the traditional refrigerants used by Chemours Corporation included Freon ®、 Suva and ISCYON ® Composed of three independent brands. In the 2016 refrigeration season, as product packaging shifts from the DuPont brand to the Chemours brand, these products will all be unified under Freon ™ (Flulian) ™） Under his command.
At the same time as announcing the significant change from DuPont to Chemours, Chemours also launched itsOpteon ™） The brand's lowest global warming potential refrigerant product. Opteon developed by Chemours ™ (Outeon) ™） The fluorine chemical solution aims to provide the industry with products with higher refrigeration performance and better environmental performance. In the past few years, the company has commercialized these products around the world, with widespread application in Europe and North America.
Opteon ™） XP40 (R-449A)It was launched by Chemours as an alternativeR-404A refrigerant is a non flammable (A1 grade) refrigerant that has been recognized by major equipment compressor manufacturers and has been widely used worldwide in its first year of commercial supply. Compared to R-404A, XP40 has a global warming potential reduction of up to 67%, which can increase the energy efficiency of the R-404A system by 12%. At the same time, for supermarket system owners who are looking for more sustainable alternative refrigerants, XP40 is also a convenient solution for directly replacing R-22. Based on the outstanding performance of XP40 in applications, as well as current orders and customer product testing, Chemours Corporation recently announced that by the end of 2016, more than 1000 supermarkets worldwide will adopt XP40 refrigeration systems.
Opteon ™） XP10（R-513A）It is a commercially available, non flammable low global warming potential hydrofluoroolefin（The global warming potential of HFO mixture has decreased by 56% compared to R-134a. XP10 has excellent refrigeration capacity and efficiency comparable to R-134a in applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning, chillers, and heat pumps. More and more major equipment manufacturers have designated the use of Opteon ™ (Outeon) ™） XP10。 Trane Air Conditioning Company has announced its Sintesis ™ The air-cooled chiller unit has been launched on the market, and Emerson and Bitzer have approved XP10 for their compressor products.
In January of this year, Johnson Controls also announced that the company had decided to produce products that are fully compatibleR-134a and Opteon ™ (Outeon) ™） XP10 (R-513A) chiller product combination for its 125&6000 ton York centrifugal and screw chillers are used to strengthen its hydrofluorocarbon product line. As a global leader in the rapidly growing oil-free centrifugal chiller market, Simote Refrigeration Equipment Group announced in January this year that its high-efficiency XP10 centrifugal chiller can be commercialized. The group expects to launch air-cooled and water-cooled magnetic bearing centrifugal chillers by the end of 2016.
Opteon ™） XP44（R-452A）It is a hydrofluoroalkene that does not damage the ozone layer and has low global warming potential（HFO refrigerant can replace R-404A/R-507A. Compared to R-404A/R-507, XP44 has a 45% reduction in global warming potential, but provides exhaust temperatures comparable to the first two, which is crucial for low-temperature sealing systems and transportation applications. Cold King Company and Taikang Compressor Company have taken the lead in specifying the use of Opteon ™ (Outeon) ™） XP44。
Opteon™ (Outeon) ™）XL55, proposedASHRAE standard number R-452B, as an excellent low global warming potential refrigerant that can replace R-410A, has attracted strong interest from major equipment manufacturers and is currently awaiting approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Major New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program. The global warming potential of XL55 is 65% lower than that of R-410A, and when used for direct replacement, XL55 can improve performance while maintaining design compatibility. Meanwhile, the flammability of XL55 is lower than that of all other industrial tested R-410A alternatives. Chemours launched the XL55 at the 2015 Yokohama International Refrigeration Conference in Japan. At this exhibition, Trane also showcased products specifically designed for using Opteon ™ (Outeon) ™） The first air-cooled chiller AquaTrine designed by XL55 ™。
Opteon™ (Outeon) ™）XP140It is a working fluid recently launched by Chemours for high-temperature heat pump applications.Opteon ™） The heating temperature of XP140 can reach 95 ℃, which will significantly improve the energy efficiency of applications that require higher heating temperatures.
Chemours Corporation'sOpteon ™） Fluorochemical products represent a breakthrough in low global warming potential refrigerants. Chemours Corporation developed this series of products to meet increasingly stringent global regulations while maintaining or improving performance relative to current products. Chemours Corporation has invested millions of dollars to bring these new products to market and will continue to invest in developing new products and features to meet the growing demand for low global warming potential refrigerants around the world.
