UK: The unusual component blend of a new non-flammable refrigerant from Koura, which it claims has a lower environmental impact and better performance than CO2, has now been revealed.
First announced last year and dubbed LFR3, Koura claims the new refrigerant will be suitable for a range of cooling applications including mobile air conditioning, heat pump systems, cold chain and transport refrigeration and commercial refrigeration.
The refrigerant, which is said to be up to 20% more energy efficient than CO2 with 15-20% lower operating pressure, has now been submitted to ASHRAE for designation and safety classification.

Hon.Penny Simmonds, Minister for Vocational Education and the Environment, has announced eight ISBs with Refrigeration, Heating, Ventilation and Airconditioning coming under Construction and Specialist Trades.
As the climate conversation grows louder in boardrooms and communities, one of the most powerful levers for climate action remains largely behind the scenes: refrigeration.
