Carrier introduces R-454B-compatible heat pumps

CONFRONTED WITH AGGRESSIVE MEDIA ?

Carrier ’ s latest single-stage heat pump launch marks the first heat pumps available to the field that are R-454B compatible well in advance of the 2025 regulatory shift . R-454B , known commercially as Puron Advance , is Carrier ’ s refrigerant of choice for all ducted and ductless residential and light commercial applications . Additionally , Carrier was the first to announce its refrigerant of choice in 2018 and the first to publish AHRI ratings for R-454B equipment . With a GWP of 466 – a 75 % reduction from R-410A – and nonozone depleting potential , Puron Advance refrigerant was selected as the best solution to minimize
environmental impact and provide longevity based on the United Nations Montreal Protocol Kigali Agreement phasedown plan . Carrier worked closely with regulators and research groups to develop standards , codes , and regulations that will help ensure the safe use of R-454B . The recent designation of its Collierville , Tennessee facility as its Center of Excellence for heat pump production further underscores Carrier ’ s commitment to sustainability . In addition to heat pumps , Carrier also opened orders for R-454B compatible fan coils and evaporator coils . All available units will begin arriving in warehouses across the country in early April .
