What is Puron™, and why should I be concerned about choosing this coolant for my air conditioning system?
You may not realize it, but most of the air conditioning systems in use today are an endangered species. Soon, the refrigerant we know as Freon (R-22) will no longer be used in a/c systems because it destroys the Earth’s protective ozone layer in the atmosphere. (Ozone protects us from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.) As of January 2006, cooling system manufacturers were no longer able to make systems that use R-22. By 2010 the production of R-22 will no longer be permitted. In 1991 Allied Signal developed the first environmentally friendly coolant known as R-410A. Several companies have since trademarked their own version of R-410A, including Carrier (Puron®), Honeywell (Genetron® AZ20) and Dupont (Suva® 410A). Years of commercial use and testing have proven that Puron® and the other R-410A products are superior in performance and energy efficiency to Freon.
