Compatible with A2L (R32) & ATEX (A3)
Based on the latest developments in the industry (changing established refrigerants with flammable freon), vacuum pumps come to remind us of their importance not only in terms of the cleanliness of the circuit and the benefits (or not the damages that may be caused) that we derive from their use, BUT also the enormous caution that skilled craftsmen must show in order not to face unpleasant surprises with the flammable, explosive refrigerants (R290 propane, R600 butane, etc.) that are already entering the HVAC & R refrigeration and air conditioning industry.
As vacuum pumps have always been NECESSARY before filling the system with freon, NOW it is "suicidal" not to use them. They are applicable in all refrigeration and air conditioning applications, in various devices and their size depends on the type of industry you operate in (domestic, professional, industrial refrigeration & air conditioning). So below you can choose from the models that meet all the safety specifications in order to be used for use with devices that will be filled with A2L (R32) & A3 ATEX (R290 propane, R600 butane, etc.) but this does not mean that they cannot also be used for all the older ones, always respecting all the specifications that the industry advocates.
Equipment and installation changes A2L (semi-selective refrigerants)
The transition to A2L refrigerants introduces important prevention, design & installation issues:
• Due to the mildly flammable nature of A2L refrigerants, systems must include leak mitigation strategies such as automatic leak detection, shutdown and fan start mechanisms to remove the refrigerant from the enclosed space.
• Piping of A2L appliances will also require 'Fire Hazard' labels and comply with local building codes and installation should be done with sensitivity to potential hazards and professionalism to ensure compliance with regulations and safely enjoy the benefits of your appliances.
• A2L cylinders (all red, half red half green, half red half white) are marked to indicate the presence of mildly flammable refrigerant & are connected to the transfer hoses via an A2L reverse thread (counter-clockwise) adapter to distinguish them from older HFCs.
