R454B A2L Low GWP 20.9lb. Jug Refrigerant
R-454B Refrigerant is 2025 Low GWP approved replacement of R410A refrigerant. It is the lowest GWP refrigerant and is a blend composed of 68.9% R-32 and 31.1% R-1234yf refrigerants. In comparison R410A is currently 50% R-32 and 50% R-125.
Features
R454B Refrigerant
This new refrigerant is gaining traction as an environmentally responsible choice for residential HVAC systems.
R454B Explained
R454B refrigerant is a blend of hydrofluoroolefins (HFO) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), specifically designed to deliver optimal performance in your HVAC system while aligning with environmental regulations. What is different about R454B apart is its compatibility with existing equipment.
Environmental Impact and GWP
R454B is particularly important due to its low Global Warming Potential (GWP). With a GWP of 466, R454B significantly reduces the potential impact on the environment compared to its predecessor, R410A. This decrease in GWP is a step forward in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability in cooling applications. R454B is classified as having zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), contributing further to its environmental credentials.

Similarities and Differences
R454B and R410A are both refrigerants used in HVAC systems, but they have distinct properties and environmental impacts. R410A has been the go-to refrigerant for residential air conditioning systems for many years. However, due to its high Global Warming Potential (GWP), the HVAC industry is shifting towards more eco-friendly alternatives like R454B.
| Feature | R454B | R410A |
| GWP | Significantly lower | Higher |
| Efficiency | Similar or slightly better | Standard efficiency |
| Compatibility | High with existing systems | Established |
| Toxicity | Low | Low |
| Flammability | Slightly higher | Low |
Transitioning to R454B
Transitioning to R454B refrigerant can seem daunting, but the phase out of R410A to A2L refrigerants such as R454B or R32 is gradual and will not be completed overhauled until end of 2025.
Due to the slight increase in flammability with R454B, it>
