Properties and Characteristics
Table 1. Comparisons between R32 and R410A
| PROPERTIES | R32 | R410A |
| Boiling point | -51.7°C | -51.0°C |
| Critical temperature | 78.4°C | 72.0°C |
| Saturation pressure at 4°C | 818kPa | 806kPa |
| Saturation pressure at 40°C | 2380kPa | 2337kPa |
| Global warming potential | 675 | 2088 |
| Flammability rating | A2L lower flammability | A1 non-flame propagation |
Note: R32 systems tend to have a smaller charge size than R410A. The effective reduction in GWP is about 75 per cent.
