Successfully adopted Opteon ™ After XP40 (R-449A) transforms the existing R-404A system, Axima Refrigeration France will investigate Opteon before 2021 Opteon ™ Is XL low global warming potential HFO refrigerant suitable for new equipment.
Wilmington, Delaware, July 16, 2019/PRNewswire/--Chemours Company（Chemours CC is a multinational chemical company that holds a leading market position in the fields of fluorine products, titanium dioxide technology, and chemical solutions. The company announced today that Axima Refrigeration France has chosen to collaborate with Chemours to evaluate Opteon ™ The current usage of XL low global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants in commercial refrigeration, as well as their future adoption before the introduction of new European F-Gas HFC cap and phase out regulations in 2021; Axima Refrigeration France is a company under ENGIE Axima, a leading contractor in the fields of HVAC, refrigeration, and fire protection, headquartered in Paris. As a first step towards reducing carbon dioxide quotas, Axima Refrigeration France has adopted Opteon ™ XP40 (R-449A) is a modification of the existing R-404A system.
Chemours and Axima Refrigeration France adopt Opteon for the futureOpteon ™ XL refrigerants are collaborating to provide long-term solutions that comply with F-Gas regulations for the commercial refrigeration market. These solutions have minimal environmental impact while ensuring performance, safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The two companies are committed to jointly investigating the use of A2L refrigerant in commercial refrigeration applications, and providing support for this transformation through experiments and case studies, as well as jointly offering best practices through training.
Axima Refrigeration France recently adopted Opteon ™ XP40 (R-449A) is the first step towards achieving this transformation and also enables the company to ensure the continuity of its customer business. Opteon ™ XP40 (A1 grade refrigerant) is currently the preferred refrigerant for major supermarkets, retailers, contractors, distributors, and end-users in the European Union for retrofitting. It has better performance, energy efficiency, and a more sustainable environmental footprint. Compared with R-404A, its global warming potential has been reduced by more than 65%.
Our two companies share a common goal of helping the commercial refrigeration market prepare for the gradual phase out of HFC in 2021, which will help reduce 55% of available carbon dioxide quotas, "said Diego Boeri, Vice President of Chemo Fluorochemicals." Axima chooses refrigerants with a global warming potential below 1500, such as Opteon ™XP40， Used for renovation. Choose refrigerants with a global warming potential below 150, such as Opteon ™XL， Used for new devices. This strategy indicates that Opteon (Outeon) ™） Plays a crucial role in meeting the needs of the commercial refrigeration industry today and in the future. He added.
For over 20 years, Axima Refrigeration has been actively developing innovative and more sustainable refrigeration systems to comply with its refrigerant policies and fulfill its social and environmental responsibilities. Our ILICO2 program aims to promote the use of Opteon, "said Laurent Meykuchel, CEO of Axima Refrigeration FranceOpteon ™ XL, an energy-saving refrigerant with a global warming potential gas below 150, makes Axima refrigeration fully in line with Engie's global strategy to drive the market towards zero carbon. "
Opteon ™ Low global warming potential HFO refrigerants are composed of a variety of sustainable and multifunctional refrigerant product combinations, which can meet the long-term needs of the refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pump, and chiller markets. The purpose of developing these refrigerants is to help meet increasingly stringent global regulations while maintaining or improving performance (compared to the refrigerants being replaced), as well as encouraging more sustainable refrigerant choices and equipment designs to reduce carbon emissions in the HVACR industry. Specifically, in Europe, Opteon has an ultra-low global warming potentialOpteon ™ The XL refrigerant product portfolio not only supports the market transformation required by F-Gas regulations, but also enables customers to choose the ideal solution— Comprehensively consider performance, security, sustainability, and overall cost of ownership.
