Hydrocarbons (isobutane-R600a and propane-R290) represent the best and long term solution for refrigeration applications in low and medium pressure. For many years, Embraco has been actively investing in this direction by developing and promoting hermetic compressors for use with low-atmospheric impact refrigerants on all continents.
In addition to isobutane in household appliances, significant progress has been made with the use of propane in light commercial plug-in systems as a natural alternative to R134a and R404A.
The main focus of the position paper is being given to reliability and performance aspects as well as to the related safety legislation evolution. The document also presents the Embraco refrigerants approval for transitory solutions, as well as notes about IEC standard refrigerant charge increase.
