Friedrich Air Conditioning quality has been proven by more than 25 years of successful experience from the Gulf of Mexico to the searing sands of the Arabian desert.

Control Panel

Function Control (Power)

This switch is a double pole, single throw toggle switch.

ON - Turns everything on.

(Fan motor runs continuously) OFF - Turns everything off.

Temperature Control

The knob at the bottom is the thermostat which is a cross ambient type used to maintain the desired comfort level. The thermostat reacts only to a change in temperature at the bulb location - turn the knob clockwise to set cooler, counterclockwise for warmer.

R-410A specifications

Friedrich R-410A is an advanced refrigerant widely used in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, known for its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. As a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blend, R-410A has become the preferred alternative to R-22, which is being phased out due to its ozone-depleting potential. One of the main features of R-410A is its high latent heat of vaporization, which allows for efficient heat transfer and improved cooling performance in air conditioning units.

Technologically, R-410A operates at higher pressures than older refrigerants, meaning systems designed for R-410A need to be built with more robust components to safely handle these pressures. This results in a more compact system design that offers enhanced performance and reliability. The dual-component nature of R-410A—composed of difluoromethane (R-32) and pentafluoroethane (R-125)—provides an optimal balance of thermodynamic properties, leading to superior energy efficiency, especially in variable speed applications.

In terms of characteristics, R-410A has a higher cooling capacity, which enables HVAC systems to effectively cool larger spaces or run more efficiently when cooling smaller areas. The refrigerant is non-toxic and non-flammable, which enhances safety during its use. In addition, R-410A has a lower global warming potential relative to other refrigerants, making it a more environmentally responsible choice for modern cooling systems.

Moreover, R-410A systems typically require less refrigerant charge due to their efficiency, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of R-410A aligns with regulatory trends aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of refrigerants in cooling applications.

Overall, the Friedrich R-410A refrigerant embodies a combination of technology and environmental stewardship, making it a cornerstone of contemporary HVAC design. Its ability to provide effective and energy-efficient cooling solutions while being compliant with modern environmental regulations positions R-410A as the refrigerant of choice for engineers and installers focused on sustainability and performance in air conditioning systems.
