UL solutions start tests in China to recognize the next generation refrigerant and help the HVACR manufacturers to fulfill new regulations

Calfutists with low global heating potential are more sustainable for the planet, but often more flexible than conventional HFCs. The Zhongshan Labor from UL solutions takes into account safety concerns with new test functions.

Northbrook, Ill .- (Business Wire) -Ul Solutions (NYSE: ULS), a worldwide leading provider in applied security science, announced its new test skills for refrigerants with low-global heat potential (LGWP) in his laboratory in Zhonghan, China. This helps to meet the manufacturers of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and cooling (HVACR) new regulations and switch to more sustainable refrigerants.

In order to clear up growing concerns regarding climate change, the regulatory authorities, consumers and other stakeholders focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as traditional refrigerant of the hydrofluorine hydrogen (HFC), which are released into the atmosphere. In response to this, the air conditioning and cooling industry has developed products with more sustainable refrigerants, which are supplemented by identification systems and sensors to protect against refrigerant lids.

“The manufacturers in the Greater China region and the Asian -Pacific region represent a significant part of the manufacturers that provide products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and cooling to the North American market and other markets that take on ULSTSTALDS, ”said Karine Johnfroe, Vice President and General Manager of the Builded Environmental Group at UL Solutions. “We are pleased to expand the profound expertise of UL solutions in relation to devices, fire brigade and life safety to our laboratory in Zhongshan, China. This investment offers manufacturers a holistic solution to demonstrate the product performance and to meet the requirements for the detection of refrigerant decks when pursuing environmentally related sustainability goals. ”

In response to flammability risks, UL standards have been updated to determine new requirements for inflammatory refrigerant-clever clever detection systems. This includes A2L and A3 classifications of refrigerants. The new test functions of the UL solutions in Zhongshan for combustible refrigerant recognition systems and sensors are based on UL standards¹ For electrical heat pumps, air conditioning systems, dehumidifiers and other household items as well as for commercial cooling devices and ice makers.

The new user -defined test functions include the assessment of the performance of the refrigerant team in order to achieve the UL component recognition that supports the UL certification. UL solutions can also evaluate the location and the configuration of refrigerant leakage detection systems that contain refrigerant sensors. In addition, HVACR manufacturers can use test results to support product research and development activities.

As a global security guide with decades of experience in fire protection, Ul Solutions is well positioned to support the manufacturers in understanding fire science and introducing innovative products.
