Contact: Jennifer Kramer 973-441-0023 jennifer.kramer@honeywell.com Honeywell Refrigerants’ apps, digital calculators and software help customers select and implement the best product for their application MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., January 30, 2017 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today the availability of a full digital toolset, designed to help air conditioning and refrigeration customers select and implement the right refrigerant for their application. “As customers continue to accelerate conversion to refrigerants with lower global-warming-potential and equal or better performance than previous-generation refrigerants, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment professionals rely upon quick and accurate data to enable on-the-go decision-making,” said David Cooper, director, Honeywell Refrigerants. “Honeywell is bringing time- and cost-saving digital tools to our customers’ mobile devices to support faster and easier adoption of next-generation refrigerants.” Honeywell’s full suite of apps, digital calculators and software examine performance, energy efficiency and emissions to help refrigerant customers select and implement the best refrigerants that comply with applicable regulations and provide required performance-in-use. Featured digital tools include:
  • Honeywell Pressure-Temperature Chart: HVAC mechanics have a new option when it comes to the standard paper pressure-temperature (PT) chart they currently carry. This app provides a colorful display in which users can select a refrigerant and get all of the data they need to perform their tasks in the field.
  • Refrigerant Selection Tool: With this app, customers can review available refrigerants that replace those being phased out by regulation, and make comparisons on important criteria to help make the best decision for their unique needs. The built-in calculator also helps customers determine how much new refrigerant is needed to replace the old.
  • Genetron® Properties Refrigerants Modeling Software: Customers can simulate their systems with this unique software, size line for all refrigerants, build custom pressure temperature charts and more. The results can be downloaded to Microsoft Excel for easy reporting, and allows for comparison of the performance of multiple refrigerants across manufacturers.
Honeywell is a world leader in the development, manufacture and supply of refrigerants that are sold worldwide under the Solstice® and Genetron® brand names for a range of applications, including refrigeration, building and automobile air conditioning. Honeywell and its suppliers are in the middle of a $900 million investment program in R&D and new capacity based on Honeywell’s hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) technology, which helps customers lower their carbon footprint without sacrificing end-product performance. Worldwide adoption of Solstice products has resulted in the reduction of more than 39 million metric tons of greenhouse gases to date, equal to eliminating emissions from more than 8 million cars.
