Rothenberger - R32 Refrigerant Gas in 0.78 kg/1L Steel Cylinder - 170960

R32 Refrigerant Gas: Efficiency and Sustainability for Air Conditioning Systems

Rothenberger R32 refrigerant gas (item code 170960) represents an advanced solution for modern air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This 1-liter steel cylinder contains 0.78 kg of pure refrigerant, ideal for the maintenance, recharging, and installation of latest-generation air conditioning systems. R32 refrigerant (difluoromethane) stands out as an ecological alternative to traditional HFC gases, with a significantly reduced environmental impact.

Technical Specifications

Rothenberger R32 gas features specifications that make it particularly suitable for modern air conditioning needs:

• Content: 0.78 kg of pure refrigerant
• Cylinder Capacity: 1 liter
• Cylinder Material: resistant and safe steel
• Chemical Formula: CH₂F₂ (difluoromethane)
• GWP (Global Warming Potential): 675, approximately one third compared to R410A
• Safety Classification: A2L (mildly flammable)
• Critical Temperature: 78.1°C
• Operating Pressure: optimized for modern systems
• Compatibility: specific for systems designed for R32

Environmental and Performance Benefits

R32 refrigerant represents a significant step forward in reducing the environmental impact of air conditioning systems:

• Reduced global warming potential (GWP 675) compared to traditional refrigerants
• Higher energy efficiency, resulting in reduced electricity consumption
• Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
• Better heat transfer capacity compared to R410A
• Requires a smaller amount of refrigerant for the same cooling effect
• Easy to recover and recycle

Main Applications

This Rothenberger R32 cylinder is particularly suitable for:

• Installation of new domestic and commercial air conditioning systems
• Routine maintenance and recharging of existing R32-compatible systems
• Refrigerant replacement in convertible systems (subject to compatibility verification)
• Latest-generation split and multi-split air conditioners
• Air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps
• Compatible VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems

Safety and Use

R32 gas, while being more ecological, requires some specific precautions during use:

• Classified as mildly flammable (A2L), it requires adequate ventilation during installation
• Requires the use of specific equipment and tools for R32
• Handling must be carried out exclusively by qualified and F-Gas certified technicians
• The steel cylinder ensures safety and resistance during transport and storage
• Store in cool, well-ventilated places, away from heat sources and open flames

Regulatory Compliance

Rothenberger R32 refrigerant complies with European regulations on the reduction of fluorinated greenhouse gases (EU Regulation No. 517/2014) and represents one of the recommended solutions for the transition towards refrigerants with lower environmental impact. The cylinder is equipped with all necessary certifications for safe transport and use, in accordance with ADR regulations for the transport of dangerous goods.

Choosing Rothenberger R32 refrigerant gas means opting for a solution that combines high performance, energy efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, in line with the latest European directives on sustainability in the air conditioning sector.
