What is Difluoromethane (R-32)?

Difluoromethane (R-32) is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant with the chemical formula CH₂F₂. Known for its low global warming potential (GWP: 675) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), R-32 has become a cornerstone of sustainable refrigeration and air conditioning systems.


Physical & Chemical Properties

PropertyValue
Molecular Weight52.02 g/mol
Boiling Point-51.6°C (-60.9°F)
Critical Temperature78.4°C (173.1°F)
FlammabilityClass 2L (mildly flammable)
GWP (100-year)675 (vs. R-410A GWP: 2088)
Solubility in WaterLow (0.26% at 25°C)

R-32’s high energy efficiency and low toxicity make it ideal for modern HVAC-R systems, while its mild flammability requires specialized handling.


Applications of R-32 Gas

1. Residential & Commercial Air Conditioning

  • Split AC Systems: R-32 reduces energy consumption by 10-15% compared to R-410A.

  • VRF/VRV Systems: Optimizes heat exchange in large-scale commercial buildings.
