Low-GWP R454C Refrigerant Highlighted — MHI Develops RAC Demonstration Model

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has developed the world’s first demonstration model of a small air conditioner in the 1-hp class that uses R454C refrigerant, which has a very low global warming potential (GWP). R454C is a blend of R32 and R1234yf refrigerants, with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a GWP of 146.
