Thanks to the generosity of Argent Heating & Cooling LLC, the Edison Academy HVAC-R program is the proud owner a brand new Daikin ductless heat pump and wall mount with R-32! What is R-32 and why is it important? R-32 is the most balanced refrigerant in terms of environmental impact, energy efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Refrigerant is a medium for conveying heat. Air conditioners transfer heat while circulating refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units.

Although there are various types of refrigerants, R-32 is a balanced refrigerant currently receiving attention.
Because R-32 efficiently conveys heat, it can reduce electricity consumption up to approximately 10% compared to that of air conditioners using refrigerant R-22. Furthermore, compared to the refrigerants widely used today such as R-22 and R-410A, R-32 has a global warming potential (GWP) that is one-third lower and is remarkable for its low environmental impact.

Thank you Argent Heating & Cooling LLC and Daikin for this contribution to the Edison Academy HVAC-R program. This is going to help our students in a tremendous way! To see pictures visit here!
