Kaltra Offers Microchannel Condensers Optimized for Low-GWP Refrigerants R454B, R32, and R290

ALTMUNSTER, Austria - Rezul -- As HVAC manufacturers transition to next-generation low-global-warming-potential refrigerants, Kaltra offers its latest generation of microchannel condenser platforms engineered specifically for R454B, R32, and R290. Each refrigerant presents different thermodynamic behavior and safety considerations, requiring optimized heat exchanger geometry, material selection, and refrigerant distribution. Kaltra's enhanced condensers address these challenges while delivering higher efficiency and extended service life.

Designed for Efficiency Gains

The new condenser designs focus on heat transfer enhancement, phase-stable refrigerant flow, and improved subcooling performance.

As a result, OEMs can expect:

• Higher COP, particularly at elevated ambient temperatures
• More stable condensing pressure across varying load conditions
• Reduced compressor lift, improving part-load performance
• No increase in system footprint or fan power

These benefits directly support high-efficiency chiller and heat pump platforms seeking to comply with evolving energy performance standards.

Configured for R454B, R32, and R290 System Requirements

Kaltra has applied refrigerant-specific optimization, including:

• Higher pressure-rated tube and manifold design for R32 applications
• Phase-balanced refrigerant circuitry for R454B
• Low internal volume configurations for R290, minimizing system charge

Reduced Internal Volume - Essential for Propane Systems

For systems using R290 (propane), minimizing refrigerant charge is not only an engineering preference, but a safety and regulatory requirement.

Kaltra's microchannel condensers feature:

• Significantly reduced internal volume
• Optimized vapor-liquid distribution
• Compact manifold architecture

This allows OEMs to meet EN 378 and IEC 60335-2-40 charge limits while maintaining high thermal performance - a critical factor for expanding the viable capacity range of R290 heat pump and chiller systems.

• Corrosion protection coatings, including e-coating for coastal, industrial, or polluted environments

These measures contribute to longer operational life, reduced service frequency, and lower total cost of ownership.

Fully Adaptable to OEM System Architecture

All condenser parameters - including dimensions, fin type, circuitry strategy, and connection layout - are tailored to the OEM's performance targets and mechanical arrangement.

Kaltra engineers collaborate directly with OEM development teams to:

• Define required capacity and condensing temperatures
• Optimize refrigerant-side and air-side performance
• Ensure seamless manufacturing integration
