Class A1 refrigerants are defined by two main criteria: low toxicity and non-flammability. According to the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) safety standard, A1 fluids are considered safe for routine use in a variety of environments, since they do not pose significant risks to human health and are not explosion or fire hazards.
With changing environmental regulations and the pursuit of more sustainable solutions, A1 refrigerants represent an attractive option for meeting growing refrigeration and air-conditioning needs while minimising environmental impact. Ongoing innovations in this area aim to further improve their energy efficiency and reduce their global warming potential (GWP).
A1 refrigerants are the top choice for safe, efficient and environmentally friendly refrigeration and air-conditioning. Their continued adoption and future development will play a key role in the transition to more sustainable and efficient refrigeration technologies.
