So here are five true or false questions regarding the H2L transition away from 4:10 A refrigerants O question #1A2L refrigerants contain propane. That is actually false. We hear this all the time. There is no propane whatsoever in a 2L refrigerants R32 or R454B. Question number two, one of my favorites, the a 2L transition is driven by manufacturers to increase profit. What do you think? That is? Absolutely not true. Manufacturers go through a lot of trouble to change refrigerants. It's actually driven by the EPA. It requires a lot of additional testing, compliance costs, a manufacturing delays. OK question #3A2L refrigerants have been safely used around the world for more than 10 years. True or false? That's actually true. Actually, a 2L's are rather new to the US, but they've been used very safely for in the rest of the world for a long time now. OK question #4 A 2L refrigerants are less. Efficient than our fortune A OK This is actually false in most cases they are comparable with a minor slight edge and efficiency over 410 A OK The final question #5. A2L refrigerants can be used safely as a direct drop in replacement for our for 10A and the answer is no, this is completely false. You cannot put legally put 12 refrigerants into a machine designed for R410A.

I have observed a noticeable performance decrease when using R454B in heatpipes. But, R32 performs just as well as R410A.
