Refrigerant Safety Classification

Checkup with Dr. Chuck

Episode 5: Refrigerant Safety Classification

Most HVACR pros are familiar with traditional refrigerants like R-22, R-404A, or R-410A all of which have safety a classification of A1; which for practical purposes means they are non-flammable and low toxicity. Recently there is more talk of products that are A2L , A3, or even B2L. I’ll clearly explain how the classification standard works and how the ratings impact choice of refrigerants.

What is the Checkup with Dr. Chuck Series?

Join Dr. Chuck Allgood of Chemours for his video series in which he will dissect key topics concerning the HVACR industry, with a special emphasis on refrigerants.

Dr. Chuck's goal with these “checkups” is to ensure all information is readily available as well as focused (1 topic per video), fast (under 10 minutes), and informative (submit your own questions).

It's not a webinar, not a podcast, and not an online course, but rather timely discussions and food for thought to help address misinformation and explain the facts and impacts on technicians and the industry.
