Contact: Europe Sabine Knaak +49 174-217-7336 sabine.knaak@honeywell.com Solstice^® L40X, provides superior energy efficiency compared to currently used refrigerant that is being phased out by regulations BRUSSELS, Belgium, Oct. 11, 2016 — Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today the availability of Solstice^® L40X, a refrigerant suitable for medium- and low-temperature standalone applications such as hermetically sealed systems in refrigerated plug-in type-cabinets. Solstice L40X provides up to 3 percent higher capacity and up to 6 percent better efficiency at low temperature than the current, widely used refrigerant R-404A. By 2022, the European Union’s F-gas regulations will ban the use of refrigerants with global-warming-potential (GWP) greater than 150 in airtight container applications such as plug-in and refrigeration condensing units. Solstice L40X has a GWP of 146, which is more than 96 percent lower than R-404A. Solstice L40X also has a lower risk of flammability compared to other refrigerant options such as propane, whose usage in such applications is limited to small amounts and can incur extra costs. “The EU’s F-gas regulations set strict quotas on the total GWP of product that can be placed on the market,” said Julien Soulet, managing director for Honeywell Fluorine Products in Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. “Solstice L40X is available now and meets the demands of these regulations, while providing similar or even better performance compared to solutions that are being phased out. As companies evaluate the range of options that are available for medium- and low-temperature standalone applications, we expect that Solstice L40X will be an ideal solution that helps them meet environmental targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” Solstice L40X (R-455A) is rated A2L by ASHRAE. Leading hermetic compressor manufacturers have validated the performance of Solstice L40X in tests over the last 18 months and have found similar capacity and discharge temperature, but with improved efficiency, when compared to R404A. Solstice L40X can be used across many segments of the HVACR industry, including small charge, plug-in type cabinets, condensing units and monoblocks for cold rooms and freezer rooms, small chillers, heat pumps, and chillers. 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, and 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 to produce next-generation materials with GWPs equal to or better than carbon dioxide, and at least 99 percent lower than most technologies used today. Honeywell has a diversified global supply network that includes commercial partnerships with manufacturers in India, China and Japan. Honeywell’s family of Solstice-branded products includes refrigerants for stationary, commercial refrigeration and mobile refrigerants, liquid and gaseous blowing agents, solvents and propellants—all based on Honeywell’s hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) technology that helps customers lower their carbon footprint without sacrificing end-product performance. Worldwide adoption of Solstice products has resulted in the reduction of more than 31 million metric tons of greenhouse gases to date, equal to eliminating emissions from more than 6 million cars.
