A2L-compatible Tools

NAVAC, the world’s largest supplier of HVAC vacuum pumps in addition to a wide array of tools, gauges, charging machines, recovery units and industry-specific items, offers a complete line of tools compatible with A2L refrigerants, which are being phased in as part of greener industry initiatives.  Since legacy HFC refrigerants such as R-410A will still be used on a scaled-down basis for the next decade or more, NAVAC’s portfolio of HVAC/R tools are designed to handle both newer and older refrigerants. Industry groups as well as manufacturers like NAVAC have been spreading the word about the pending phasedown, and developing solutions to ensure a seamless transition to more eco-friendly refrigerants.  A2L refrigerants have lower toxicity and flammability than their predecessors. Refrigerants in this class include R32, which offers a lower global warming potential (GWP) than legacy products like R-410A. To soften the transition, NAVAC’s series of A2L-compatible tools includes a broad array of its offerings. For example, a wide range of NAVAC vacuum pumps are A2L-compatible, including the NP4DLM & NP2DLM Cordless Vacuum Pumps, part of the company’s BreakFree Series™ of cordless HVAC/R solutions. The NP4DLM features a high-performance lithium battery capable of up to one hour of continuous running time. The NP2DLM is a compact, lightweight unit suitable for residential HVAC systems up to 5 tons with high-speed evacuation hoses.
