AAON Selects a Lower Global Warming Potential R-454B Refrigerant to Replace R-410A in its Product Lines
29 November 2022 - 10:00PM
AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAON), a leader in innovation and production of
premium-quality, high-performance, and energy-efficient HVAC
products for commercial, and industrial buildings, announces that
it has selected the lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) R-454B
refrigerant, replacing R-410A in its products.
AAON anticipates it will begin using R-454B
refrigerant in select products by the end of the third quarter of
2023 and will transition the full product line to the lower GWP
refrigerant well before the anticipated refrigerant regulation
phase-out dates.
“After testing and evaluation, AAON selected
R-454B for a variety of reasons. R-454B has a low 466 GWP, which
results in less overall impact on the environment and potentially
has a longer useful life against future refrigerant regulations,”
said Brent Stockton, AAON Director of Engineering. “Capacity and
refrigerant properties are also similar to R-410A, meaning the
changeover will require less time and lower the cost to redesign
our products.”
“AAON manufactures the most sustainable
equipment in the commercial HVAC industry,” said Gary Fields, AAON
President and CEO. “We are committed to providing our customers
with the best solutions to meet the ever-evolving environmental
regulations.”
