Daikin is developing new refrigerant for electric vehicles

D1V140, Daikin’s latest environmentally friendly refrigerant development targets automotive HVAC applications. In particular it excels in delivering heating performance for electric vehicles, where exhaust heat from a combustion engine is not available.
 
D1V140 refrigerant blend is a more efficient and less energy-consuming alternative to R1234yf in the heating and cooling systems of electric vehicles, thereby extending the running time of a filled battery and an electric vehicles’ range before it has to be charged again.
