A global trend toward sustainable refrigeration means many refrigeration and air conditioning systems must undergo a refrigerant replacement process. Retrofitting refrigeration systems to more climate-friendly refrigerants is much easier with the right tools in hand—and the first one you should reach for is Low-GWP Tool. Low-GWP Tool ensures compatibility with the TXV and uses a simple calculation to show the indicative capacity difference of a retrofit refrigerant. Simply enter basic information like TXV type, current refrigerant, operating range, and retrofit refrigerant, and Low-GWP Tool will verify that your refrigerant choice is efficient, environmentally friendly, and compatible.
Low-GWP Tool is also available in the web browser version of Ref Tools.
