Why Choose A2L Refrigeration? 

A2L refrigerants provide a practical path toward lower-GWP refrigeration with benefits that include:

  • Lower environmental impact with Global Warming Potential (GWP) values typically below 300, with some options below 150.
  • Compliance with current and emerging federal and state refrigerant regulations.
  • System performance and operating pressures similar to many HFC refrigerants used today.
  • Serviceability that allows for a smoother technician transition from HFC to A2L systems.
  • Flexibility for new store construction and remodel project.

A2L refrigerants are especially well suited for warmer climates, offering efficiency and performance characteristics similar to traditional HFC refrigerants while supporting long-term sustainability objectives.

How do A2L refrigerants fit in with Hussmann’s Evolve Technology Offering?

A2Ls, CO2, and R-290 are the three current and future low-GWP refrigerant technologies Hussmann uses to meet market needs that fall under the Evolve Technologies umbrella.  
 
A2Ls compared to existing HFC refrigerants are similar in required system complexity, system performance, and operating pressures. A2Ls can be used in a variety of applications including self-contained units, remote-condensing systems, either centralized or distributed, and hybrid display cases.  A2L refrigerants are especially well-suited for high ambient environments where their COP is like currently used HFCs.   
 
Hussmann is creating a comprehensive portfolio of A2L solutions by 2026 to meet the ever changing retail and regulatory needs.
