Forane® 32 has a unique balance of cost, performance, low GWP, and availability, making it a growing choice for HVAC. Forane® 32 (HFC-32 or R-32) is one of the next-generation low GWP (677) solutions being implemented globally. R-32 is a refrigerant gas for air conditioning, with high capacity and zero glide, and electronics. Forane® 32 is growing in consensus as the choice for new air conditioning units, designed for mildly flammable refrigerants as a replacement for R-410A (GWP 1924).

• Forane® 32 is a high-pressure, fluorinated refrigerant. Using R-32 refrigerant is not only useful for direct emission reduction but also indirect impact on the global warming.
• When using Forane® 32, equipment manufacturers reported an increase in system efficiency and seasonal energy efficiency ratio.
• Forane® 32 allows the use of the same existing component technologies developed for R-410A installations.
• Forane® 32 allows for the use of a smaller compressor and heat exchanger versus R-22, which lowers manufacturing equipment costs.
• Forane® 32 equipment size is reduced versus R-22 equipment, which allows for easier handling and integration in the buildings.
• The GWP of Forane® 32 is 677 according to AR5, and the effective FORANE® 32 GWP is around 474.
• As a single-component refrigerant Forane(R) 32 has zero glide and is easier to recycle at end of life
