Refrigerants for Public Transportation

Dependable Cooling Solutions for Mass Transit Vehicles

Each day millions of passengers rely on public transportation, and their comfort depends on air conditioning (AC) and heat pump systems that optimize comfort regardless of the operating environment. Based on advanced hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) chemistry, Opteon™ refrigerants provide efficient and dependable performance in a variety of public transportation vehicles, from city buses and subways to ferries and rail systems.

A New Benchmark for Sustainability

Based on hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) chemistry, Opteon™ YF (R-1234yf) refrigerant delivers similar operating characteristics to the HFC refrigerants it replaces, but with a significantly reduced global warming potential (GWP). Opteon™ YF is a mildly flammable (ASHRAE A2L) and non-toxic refrigerant that enables improved energy efficiency versus alternative solutions. Featuring a GWP that is 99% lower than R-134a, Opteon™ YF offers a new benchmark for sustainability in bus, rail, watercraft, and other vehicle AC and heat pump systems.
