R290 Refrigerant
 |
Environmentally safe alternative to R22 & R410A Only 3 GWP, Plus optimised unit performance |
R290 is a naturally occurring, non ozone depleting hydrocarbon in air conditioning condensers. Envirodrive uses R290 as an environmentally safe alternative to other harmful air conditioning refrigerants such R410A and R22.
Due to R290's molecular nature and larger structure, it is more efficient and safer to operate than R410 & R22 refrigerants.
This difference of refrigerant structure translates into lower running costs and reduced home energy consumption for customers with R290 engineered units. R290 further saves on refrigeration mechanics and disposal costs.
Other Australian air conditioners using the harmful R410A and R22 refrigerants which have a large Global Warming Effect on the environment. R290 has low Global Warming Potential of 3 .
Other hazardous refrigerants such as R410A have a Global Warming Potential of 1,890, which is equivalent to 1.89 tonnes of CO2 per Kg of refrigerant.
