Zero ODP refrigerant in Tundra range
Hi-line Industries has announced that its Tundra range of refrigerant air dryers is now available with R-513A, a refrigerant with zero ozone depleting potential (ODP).
R-513A (Opteon XP10) refrigerant is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) based replacement for R-134a. Suitable for use in medium and low temperature refrigeration products, such as Tundra air dryers, R-513A offers 56% lower GWP (global warming potential) than R-134a, delivering long-term sustainability and F gas legislation compliance.
Notably, R-513A resides in the A1 (non-flammable) safety class, making it a suitable retrofit candidate for R-134a, while offering very similar cooling performance. R-513A also provides negligible temperature glide to ensure reliable performance day after day.
Despite the upgrade in refrigerant, Hi-line says it intends to hold pricing for the Tundra range firm throughout 2024.
Among further features driving Tundra’s energy-efficient characteristics is a patented single-cell heat exchanger, which delivers highly efficient heat transfer at low energy costs, and a link between the controller and condensate removal valve for minimum loss of compressed air during condensate discharge. This product recently gained recognition at the iPlex Awards, in the ‘Energy Management Innovation’ category.
