Question: Refrigerant R32 advantages and disadvantages

Answer:

R32 has 3 advantages:


1. the R32 has a lower GWP (Global Warming Potential) value which is more friendly to the environment. 


2.R32 require 20% lower charging volume compared with R410A. 


3.R32 provide 5% higher energy efficiency than R410a.


4.Low Flammability (A2L Class): Requires both high concentration (>14%) and open flame to ignite—safer than propane (used in kitchens).


5. Durable & Low Maintenance


  • Longer Lifespan: Cuts compressor wear, lasts 2-3 years longer than R410A systems.


  • Wide Compatibility: Works with most modern AC units without hardware changes.


Disadvantages:Different from R22 and R410A, the R32 is slightly flammable. 


But combustion will not occur unless three critical conditions are met, refrigerant concentration, constant oxygen, and an ignition source. 


In real practice, it's hard to meet all the combustion conditions.Professional installers ensure leak-free pipelines; Professional Installation Required,Certified technicians handle leak-proof setup (standard industry practice).


 R32 combines safety, efficiency, and environmental care. With certified installation and smart safety features, it’s a trusted choice for modern homes
