Honeywell Unveils New Nonflammable Refrigerant With Low-Global-Warming Potential For Chillers And Heat Pumps

Honeywell today announced the launch of Solstice® N15 (R-515B), a new, A1 nonflammable and low-global-warming potential (LGWP) refrigerant replacement for R-134a for use in chillers and heat pumps. With a GWP of 299 (AR5), Solstice N15 is an environmentally preferable, energy-efficient and safe alternative to higher global warming potential solutions that do not fully address long-term efficiency and GWP requirements. The new refrigerant, which will be commercially available this year, was unveiled at the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration (AHR) Expo in Orlando, Fla.
