Since 1999, OSB have been engaged herself to export business and the heat pump products have been selling to all over the world.
We don’t just sell what we make, we always ready to stay at the same side as customers based on their market demand.
For example, now more and more customers are required R32 heat pump while some are still selling quite well with R410A heat pumps.
Of course, we’re talking about the well-established R410A and the newly introduced R32.
We differentiate between refrigerants based on:
their chemical structure
their environmental impact
What makes certain refrigerants stand out is their impact on our environment. For example, both R32 and R410A belong to a group of gases called hydrofluorocarbons. Their ODP (ozone depletion potential) is 0, which makes them eco-friendly.
Both refrigerants belong to the same group and share the same ODP.
However, which one is better?
What Is R410A?
In 1991, an American company by the name of Allied Signal invented and patented the R410A refrigerant.
Five years later, the gas found its way into residential air conditioning units, replacing R22 in the US, Japan, and Europe.
In 2010, the US completely phased out R22. Since then, R410A has been the standard for all new air conditioners in the country.
Unlike other refrigerants, R410A operates at much higher pressures. Therefore, handling it requires the use of equipment that is suitable for such conditions.
Even though it consists of two different gases, it still has a constant boiling point. Because of that, refilling a pressure vessel with R410A should be relatively easy and without any leakage.
In contrast to haloalkane refrigerants, R410A does not contain chlorine or bromine.
Instead, the gas contains only fluorine, hence its non-existent ODP. That is the reason why R410A became widely available, replacing R22 in the process.
While R22 has a global warming potential of 1810, R410A exceeds it with a GWP of 2088.
Therefore, OSB still keeping r410a range, included our swimming pool heat pump range, hot water heat pump range, and space heating and cooling range. Some r410a inverter models are even well designed based on OEM customer demand.
