R-454B Refrigerant Gas (22LB / 10KG)
R-454B is a next-generation refrigerant designed to replace R-410A in new HVAC systems. Delivering similar performance with a significantly lower environmental footprint, it is the preferred low-GWP solution for modern air conditioning and heat pump applications. As global regulations tighten, R-454B provides a reliable and future-ready alternative for high-efficiency systems.
✅ Key Features and Benefits
-
Ultra-Low GWP Solution: With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 466, R-454B reduces climate impact by nearly 80% compared to R-410A (~2,088).
-
Excellent System Performance: Matches the cooling capacity and efficiency of R-410A, while allowing reduced charge sizes and improved environmental compliance.
-
Mild Flammability (A2L): Classified as A2L – non-toxic and mildly flammable – suitable for use in new system designs optimized for low-GWP refrigerants.
-
HVAC Industry Adoption: Widely used by manufacturers for new air conditioning systems, rooftop units, VRF systems, and commercial heat pumps. (Not for retrofit use).
