In June 2021, the EPA approved A2L refrigerants for use in residential A/C applications and the phase out of A1 refrigerants. Popular refrigerant options include the commonly known R-32 and R-454B.

What is A2L?

A = Non-toxic

2 = Flammable

L = Low Burning Velocity

You need 1,000 times more energy to ignite A2L than to ignite propane, and A2L will self-extinguish.

• UL60335-2-40 implemented strict safety requirements for the design of systems with A2L refrigerants.

• All building codes have been updated for guidance on installing systems.

• AHRI has formed a task force to ensure industry training takes place.

Within our industry, carbon emissions from hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants and their potential contribution to climate change continue to be important considerations. To protect our climate and reduce emissions of HFCs, the American Innovation &Manufacturing (AIM) Act directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement a phasedown of the production and consumption of HFCs. As part of this work, beginning January 1, 2025, the U.S. Federal Government will require Residential HVAC equipment to use refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 700.Trane is committed to leading our industry in compliance and is prepared to support our partners every step of the way. To support the regulations, Trane and RunTru will refresh equipment portfolios with new low GWP refrigerant with rollout beginning in 2024.
