UNILAB refrigerant libraries update: in partnership with CHEMOURS
Last week we announced an update in how fluids are searched and visualized in UNILAB COILS. You can find the article here. As noted above, Unilab Coils now allows the user’s preference to search and display by default the names of refrigerants and fluids according to:
- ASHRAE Name,
- Abbreviated name,
- CAS Number,
- Full Name,
- Chemical Formula,
- Synonym
- Commercial Name
By typing the name or part of the name of a refrigerant, in any of the nomenclatures indicated, the user will be able to search for and view the fluid in all the formats indicated.
With the aim of improving and making the user’s search for fluids and refrigerants in the software faster and more user friendly, Unilab is proud to announce an important new development, born out of its partnership with Chemours, a leading provider of innovative, high-performance thermal management products and special solutions that enable technological advancement and environmental sustainability.
The collaboration between Chemours and Unilab was born at Chillventa 2022 to meet the needs of the many customers in common: the search and display of fluids using the respective trade name, which is often much more familiar to the user than the ASHRAE name.
We have therefore introduced Chemours’ Opteon™ refrigerants into the Unilab fluid libraries, specifically in COILS and Special Applications. Opteon™ refrigerants are low global warming potential (GWP) fluids specifically developed for the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) industry, featuring an optimal balance of performance, environmental sustainability, safety and cost for retrofit solutions or new systems.
From the next update, the following refrigerants will be available in our libraries,
- Opteon™ XL10
- Opteon™ XL20
- Opteon™ XL40
- Opteon™ XL41
- Opteon™ XP10
- Opteon™ XP40
- Opteon™ XP44
Choosing the ” Commercial name” display option will allow these refrigerants to be displayed by default under the Opteon™ commercial name,
By searching for the fluid using the binoculars icon, if a refrigerant has a corresponding Opteon™ name, the software will show it .
If the user has set the default “Commercial name” display, by selecting refrigerants with an Opteon™ counterpart, the software will display the relevant Opteon™ Trade name + ASHRAE name, in the interface
and in the printout, with related Opteon™ logo
We are thrilled to have been chosen as a partner by Chemours. Unilab will keep the fluid libraries up-to-date as new Opteon™ products are released to the market, ensuring that customers will be able to perform calculations with the latest refrigerants, premiering on the COILS SUITE platform.
As a reminder, the update will be available from the next build, downloadable for all customers under regular technical support. For more information, you can contact sales@unilab.eu !
