Tokyo, November 1, 2016 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the commercial launch of Solstice^® N40 (R-448A) in Japan to help supermarkets, convenience stores and cold storage warehouses meet Japan’s hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) phasedown and reduce energy consumption. Solstice N40 is a new refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP) for commercial refrigeration such as supermarkets and cold storage warehouses. Honeywell’s Solstice portfolio of low-GWP materials is based on hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) technology. Solstice N40 (R-448A) is an HFO-blend refrigerant designed to practically replace hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) R-22 and HFC R-404A in an environmentally responsible manner. Solstice N40 has a GWP of 1273, which is 68 percent lower than R-404A’s 3943, and is nonflammable and non-ozone-depleting. It can be used for low- and medium-temperature refrigeration equipment, including supermarket equipment, frozen food cases, cold rooms and blast freezers. “Different from traditional refrigerant changes that required equipment replacement, Solstice N40 is designed as a near drop-in replacement for R-404A, which helps end-users implement the transition at lower cost. Its handling is also similar to traditional refrigerants,” said Katsuyuki Takise, general manager of Honeywell Advanced Materials, Japan. “In addition, the technology of Solstice N40 greatly improves energy efficiency.” In supermarket field trials conducted in the U.S. and Europe in various climate conditions similar to Japan, Solstice N40 demonstrated three percent lower energy consumption in low-temperature applications, and five to 16 percent lower energy consumption in medium-temperature applications, compared to R-404A. Solstice N40 performance evaluation conducted by Japanese major compressor manufacturers also proved higher co-efficiency of performance (COP), which correlates to energy efficiency improvement. Currently, supermarket field trials are being conducted with primary Japanese supermarket chains to verify the energy efficiency benefit in actual stores. In Japan, The Act on Rational Use and Proper Management of Fluorocarbons (Fluorocarbons Emission Control Act) enacted in April 2015 set the HFC Phasedown target of condensing units and stationary refrigeration units (except compressors with rated output 1.5kW and less, by manufacturer and importer weighted average of new shipping product) at GWP 1500 by the year 2025. Solstice N40 is classified as Inert Gas by the New Refrigerant Assessment Committee in Japan Society of Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers and is a class A1 (nonflammable) by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 34 standard, is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, and is listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under its Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program for supermarkets, remote condensing units and self-contained units. In addition to Solstice N40, Honeywell’s family of Solstice-branded products includes stationary, commercial refrigeration and mobile refrigerants, liquid and gaseous blowing agents, solvents and propellants—all based on Honeywell’s HFO technology that helps customers lower their carbon footprint without sacrificing end-product performance.

GWPs of R-404A and Solstice N40 (R-448A) from the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) are 3922 and 1387 respectively. ■　Images Honeywell Solstice^® N40 Solstice N40 Field Test at US Supermarket Honeywell (www.honeywell.com) is a Fortune 100 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes, and industry; turbochargers; and  performance materials.  For more news and information on Honeywell, please visit www.honeywell.com/newsroom .
