    A2L Refrigerants Solving Key Challenges for the Industry

    A2L refrigerants have the potential to solve application challenges within the commercial refrigeration landscape. With charge limits exceeding those approved for R-290, A2Ls represent a potentially higher-capacity alternative in self-contained applications. They also have a likely place in distributed architectures, such as remote, outdoor condensing units (OCUs) or mini-racks used in smaller-format outlets. Discover how to make the low-GWP refrigerant transition through Copeland's “Preparing for A2L Refrigerants in Commercial Refrigeration” white paper.

    A2L Leak Detection and Safety Strategies

    To mitigate the potential for flammability and ensure operational safety, A2L system architectures need to be designed with specific safety and leak detection strategies. Installing remote systems with A2L refrigerants requires the use of mitigation measures to keep gas concentrations below flammable thresholds.

    • Leak detection and safety shut-off valves to limit releasable charge
    • Air circulation fans and/or ventilation strategies
    • Integrated system controls with A2L logic

    In addition to the E3 supervisory control platform, Copeland offers a full suite of connected leak detection sensors and valves for A2L refrigeration systems.
