Breakthrough R-22 replacement offers benefits encompassing greater energy efficiency, virtually identical capacity, elimination of oil changes, low pressure/low temperature operation and more.
McClellan Park, CA – February 20, 2019 – Bluon Energy, a California-based company committed to providing next-generation solutions for global HVAC-R infrastructure, announced its next-gen HVAC refrigerant TdX 20, a breakthrough R-22 replacement that offers greater energy efficiency, virtually identical capacity, elimination of oil changes, low pressure/low temperature operation and more.
“We set out to make an insanely great R-22 replacement blend, and after five years of hardcore research and development, real-world testing and approvals, we finally nailed it,” says Peter Capuciati, Chairman and CEO of Bluon. “TdX 20 is the first refrigerant specifically designed to solve problems faced by contractors, suppliers and end-users alike, and it’s poised to take the phase change between liquid and gas to a whole new level.”
Because HVAC-R systems work by changing a refrigerant between liquid and gas phases, Bluon’s TdX takes a four-step approach beginning with a five-constituent phase change in a carefully-orchestrated sequence. Heat is then absorbed across more of the coil surface area, improving overall heat transfer, while compressor workload is reduced, resulting in less amp draw and lower compressor head temperatures.
Finally, compressor stability is improved, yielding less noise and vibration with more stable amp draw.
Thus far, TdX is cooling over 50 million square-feet of user space with what company representatives are calling “fantastic results,” the product quickly becoming a trusted, go-to refrigerant for top contractors and suppliers including Equity Office, LBA Properties, Kaiser Permanente and South Coast Plaza.
“TdX is more than just a premium refrigerant – it’s part of a complete ecosystem of trained contractors, tech support and tools and warranty protection,” adds Danica Bunnett, Bluon‘s Director of Operations. “We boast a rapidly-growing contractor community trained in TdX, and our veteran techs are always available to solve any problem, large or small. We’re so sure about this R-22 replacement that we can say it’s the only refrigerant backed by a performance warranty.”
Further, a mobile app, free for accredited contractors, makes jobs intuitively simple, offering an equipment database with over 17,000 HVAC units boasting expert conversion notes, in-app support with best practices and technician support hotline, installation toolbox with in-app calculators and troubleshooting wizards and conversion guides with easy-to-follow steps and videos for converting units to TdX.
By becoming an Accredited Contractor, prospective parties join a massive community of technicians and service managers taking advantage of world-class tools and tech support to convert R-22 systems to TdX. With regard to the supply end, the TdX is being marketed as the only R-22 replacement built for HVAC-R suppliers, bringing with it fixed prices, superior product, fully-handled support and replacement training.
For the end-user market, the TdX refrigerant reduces energy consumption, saves money and meets sustainability goals via a turnkey and worry-free experience. What’s more, the Optimization Program represents an energy efficiency service focused on upgrading and optimizing an end-user’s existing HVAC-R equipment through a three-stage process – tuning HVAC-R gear, replacing the R-22 with TdX refrigerant and optimizing the overall system for maximum performance and longevity.
