New Solkane® Specialities: Solvay Fluor Expands Its Product Range for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems
Hanover, January 2010. The Solkane® product family has grown: Solvay Fluor has added two new fluorine specialities, Solkane® 22L and Solkane® 22M, to its range of refrigerants. At the MCE in Milan Solvay will be presenting the new products and their possible uses.
Solkane® 22L was developed for refrigeration systems at low and medium operating temperatures (e.g. in supermarkets), while Solkane® 22M is the best refrigerant for air conditioning units with evaporation temperatures above 0°C. Both specialities are environmentally friendly and ‘0-ODP’ (Ozone Depletion Potential) alternatives for R22, the use of which has been forbidden as of the beginning of this year according to EU Directive 2037/2000. In addition, Solkane® 22L and Solkane® 22M are both compatible with almost any common lubricant and can be used as efficient drop-in solutions for existing systems, thus replacing R22.
With the new Solkane types Solvay Fluor puts its focus on specialities, continuing to offer the whole range of refrigerants and propellants in its traditional markets. Under the brand name Solkatherm® Solvay offers a refrigerant that contributes to a more efficient use of the surplus energy emitted into the environment by block-type thermal power stations or industrial facilities through air coolers. With Solkatherm® and ORC technology (Organic Rankine Cycle) residual heat can be used directly to generate electricity. In the process Solkatherm® is evaporated and the resulting pressure is used to drive a turbine attached to a generator.
By extending the range of Solkane® refrigerants for different refrigeration applications such as ORC systems, high-temperature heat exchangers andcooling of drives (e.g. in laptops), Solvay Fluor seeks to further expand its leading position in its traditional markets. In the market for fluorides for aluminum brazing and with propellants for polyurethane insulating material Solvay Fluor is among the world market leaders.
Solvay Fluor’s stand at the MCE will be no. D 02 in hall 24.
