Description
R-32 (difluoromethane) is a single-component HFC refrigerant increasingly adopted in modern residential and commercial air conditioning systems. It carries a global warming potential (GWP) of 675 — approximately 32% lower than R-410A (GWP 2,088) — supporting compliance with regional HFC phase-down regulations. Its higher volumetric capacity allows manufacturers to reduce refrigerant charge by mass compared to blended alternatives in compatible systems. This 20.9 lb cylinder is packaged for professional HVAC technician use.
R-32 is a single-component refrigerant and does not fractionate during charging, simplifying service compared to zeotropic blends. It may be charged as vapor or liquid per equipment manufacturer specifications. For use only in systems specifically designed and rated for R-32 — not compatible with R-410A or R-22 systems.
R-32 is classified as mildly flammable (A2L). Servicing must be performed using tools and equipment rated for A2L refrigerants, with adequate ventilation during handling. The 20.9 lb cylinder includes a standard valve fitting compatible with professional R-32 service equipment. For use by certified HVAC professionals only, in compliance with applicable local regulations and equipment manufacturer guidelines.
