On April 12, 2019, Shanghai, China —— A chemical company that is a global leader in titanium dioxide technology, fluorine products, and specialty chemicals Chemours Company（Chemours）(NYSE: CC) will be unveiled at the 2019 China International Expo Center in Shanghai from April 9th to 11thRefrigeration ExhibitionComprehensively showcase its subsidiariesOpteon™ (Opteon)TM）cryogenSolutions, including global warming potential（Introduce how the lower GWP (Global Warming Potential) Opteon™ XL series and the non combustible Opteon™ XP series can be used incooling-water machineGroup, commercial refrigerationair conditionerTheheat pumpAssist clients in achieving the optimal balance between performance, safety, and environmental sustainability in various fields.
With increasingly stringent environmental regulatory requirements, hydrochlorofluorocarbons（HCFCs refrigerants are gradually being phased out globally, and the demand for refrigerant replacement products is constantly increasing. Opteon™ The breakthrough of the series of products lies in their reliance on hydrofluoroalkenes（HFO technology does not damage the ozone layer and has a lower GWP. It is worth mentioning that the Opteon™ The XL series products can help customers achieve convenient conversion, maintain equivalent or even improve energy efficiency in their respective application fields, while also possessing important characteristics such as low toxicity and weak flammability, achieving the best balance of product performance, safety, environmental benefits, and overall cost-effectiveness.
Chemours is steadily promoting refrigerant products with low GWP, fulfilling its regulatory obligations and commitment to sustainable development goals. In fact, when the popularity of an innovative product exceeds expectations, new challenges will arise. Chemours's products are designed to meet the urgent needs of consumers, emerging markets, and the expanding global market for environmental sustainability, "said Diego Boeri, Vice President of Chemours's Fluorochemicals Business.
During the period During the 3-day exhibition, Chemours showcased a series of mature Opteon™ products designed to meet various application needs HFO refrigerant products, including: Opteon™ XL series (XL41, XL55, XL20, XL40) and Opteon™ XP series (XP10 XP40TheXP44TheXP30)。
Opteon™ XL41 (R-454B): Opteon™ with performance and characteristics comparable to R-410AThe lowest among the series of refrigerantsGWP value (decreased by up to 76%). This product belongs to the A2L weakly flammable level, with performance close to R-410A. After a few modifications, it can be easily and economically put into use in new equipment.Johnson Self-control（Johnson Controls has launched its product for the European marketYorkThe Opteon™ XL41 (R-454B) is used in the TMYLAA vortex chiller unit;Carrier（Carrier has also chosen R-454B (Opteon™ XL41 refrigerant) as its main low GWP refrigerant. Starting from 2023, Carrier will replace R-410A with R-454B in its tubular residential and light commercial HVAC products sold in North America.
Opteon™ XL55 (R-452B): With a GWP value 65% lower than R-410A, it is well compatible with R-410A equipment and has excellent and balanced performance, including improved energy efficiency, low flammability (A2L), and superior performance in high-temperature environments.
Opteon™ XP10 (R-513A): can be used as a substitute for R-134a in medium to high temperature refrigeration applications, with a GWP value reduction of 56% compared to R-134a. As the main alternative to R-134a in chillers, it includesTrang（Trane）The More and more OEMs, including Johnson Controls and Smardt, have designated the use of the Opteon™ XP10 (R-513A).Emerson （Emerson andBizelle（BITZER has also approved Opteon? XP10 is used for itcompressorProduct. In addition, Maersk Container Industries（MCI also chooses Opteon XP10 serves as the coolant for its Star Cool integrated refrigerated container.
Opteon™ XP40 (R-449A): With excellent refrigeration performance, higher energy efficiency, and environmental performance, it can replace R-404A/R-507, R-22, or R-407 series products. Opteon™ XP40 is a new generation of non combustible (A1 grade) refrigerant that can reduce GWP values by up to 67% compared to R-404A and improve energy efficiency by up to 12%. It is suitable for new installations or retrofitting existing systems to enhance energy efficiency and environmental performance. The Opteon™ XP40 (R-449A) refrigerant has been selected by E-mart, the largest chain supermarket in South Korea, for its refrigeration system.
Opteon™ XP44 (R-452A): can replace R-404A/R-507A, with a GWP value reduction of 51%, suitable for positive displacement compressors, direct expansion air conditioners, medium and low temperature commercial, industrial and transportation refrigeration fields. The Opteon™ XP44 has been used by Thermo King for its transportation to Europe Refrigeration equipmentTrailer refrigeration equipment and global maritime refrigeration equipment, and areTaikang（Tecumseh has been selected for its compressor.
Opteon™ XP30 (R-514A) is used for low-pressure centrifugation in commercial and industrial applications refrigeration unitChinese substitutionR-123， Its GWP value is 97% lower than R-123. National Machinery IndustrycurrencyMechanical Product Testing Institute（The evaluation by GMPI indicates that Opteon™ XP30 has improved efficiency compared to R-123. Opteon™ XP30 is a non combustible azeotropic refrigerant suitable for new system installations and existing system modifications, helping to achieve the best performance balance including high energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Chemours also achieved success throughThe keynote speech and special technical exchange session at the 2019 Ozone Climate Industry Roundtable introduced the latest applications and developments of low GWP refrigerants, and shared the application and experimental research results of their main products in the fields of air conditioning, industrial and commercial refrigeration.
In the future, Chemours will continue to develop new products and expand production capacity to meet the growing global demand for low-end productsThe demand for GWP solutions.
