R32
R32 refrigerant has a 68% lower GWP (Global Warming Potential) than
R410. While neither refrigerant deteriorates the Ozone layer like R22 did, there is a clear
winner when looking at potential to contribute to global warming via greenhouse gases.
R32 is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to R410 and we expect to see it
become the new environmentally friendly standard in the years to come.

R32 IS NONEXPLOSIVE
AND HARDLY FLAMMABLE.
R32 is technically classified as a "mildly flammable" gas by the EPA. However R32 is
extremely difficult to ignite, non-explosive, and the least toxic of all the Class A refrigerants.
The regulatory warning labels on Penguin Chillers are EPA mandated for all refrigerants
considered flammable which covers a wide range of refrigerants including mildly flammable
refrigerants like R32 as well as highly flammable gasses such as butane (R600) and
propane (R290). When it comes to label requirements there is no distinction made between
mildly flammable and highly flammable. These regulatory warnings can be a bit intimidating,
they are there to keep you informed, but they should not lead you to worry about the use of
our chillers in normal operation. Our Chillers are intended for indoor use.
This information is based on reports prepared by the Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment
Manufacturers Association of Australia (AREMA) and the Consumer Electronics Supplier Association (CESA)

When first receiving the chiller AND anytime the
chiller is moved without keeping the unit level, you
MUST let the chiller remain upright for at least 2
hours before plugging it in.
Urgent Notice
Failure to do so will
result in chiller damage.
