Introduction
As we navigate the challenges of climate change, the HVAC industry plays a pivotal role in shaping sustainable living environments. This article explores the significant transitions in heat pump refrigerant technologies, driven by evolving regulations and the need for reduced environmental impact.
1. The Background of Refrigerant
The history of refrigerant can trace back to nearly 200 years ago. From the beginning, it is found that there are various drawbacks of refrigerants, which consequently has led to the continuous exploration of other alternative solutions.
2. Relevant Policies
International and national policies significantly influence refrigerant standards:
· Montreal Protocol Amendment (Kigali, 2016): Nations agreed to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) under this global pact, aiming to cut global temperature rise by 0.5°C by 2100 while protecting the ozone layer.
· EU F-gas Regulation: Aims to cut HFC use by 95% by 2030, steering towards zero by 2050, highlighting a rigorous approach to environmental protection.
· US EPA SNAP Program: Sets out to decrease HFC production and consumption by 85% by 2036, including a ban on new AC and heat pump equipment with high GWP refrigerants starting 2025.
These frameworks not only guide the industry but also underscore the urgency of adopting sustainable practices.
3. Next Generation Refrigerants

The search for suitable refrigerants focuses on minimizing Global Warming Potential (GWP):
· Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and Hydrocarbons (HCs): Commonly used despite their higher GWP. R32 is favored for its better safety and efficiency profile.
· Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs): Emerging as leaders due to their significantly lower GWP. R454B and R513A are gaining traction as sustainable alternatives in the HVAC industry.
· Natural Refrigerants: Such as CO2 (R744), ammonia (R717), and hydrocarbons like propane (R290) and isobutane (R600a), offer the lowest GWP, positioning them as future frontrunners.

4. NEWNTIDE’s Adaptation to Refrigerant Trends
As a forward-thinking heat pump manufacturer, NEWNTIDE is at the forefront of adopting and advancing refrigerant technology:
· Air Source Heat Pumps for Space Heating: Monobloc: Transition from R410A to R32, and exploring R290.Split: From R410A to R32 and R454B.
· Air Source Heat Pumps for Water Heating: Transition from R134a/R410A to R32, and testing R290 and R513A.
· Pool Heat Pumps: Moving from R410A to R32 and R454B.
These changes not only ensure compliance with stringent environmental regulations but also set industry benchmarks for sustainability and efficiency.
