Danfoss extends the cooling capacity range of its Optyma™ condensing units and releases A2L-compatible MLZ and LLZ scroll compressors

With the extension of the Optyma™ Slim Pack and Optyma™ Plus condensing units’ cooling capacity range—and the launch of the A2L-ready MLZ and LLZ scroll compressors (evolution B)—Danfoss continues its efforts to enable the transition to ultra-low GWP refrigerants with a complete portfolio of A2L-ready components and solutions.

Conventional system design

As the cooling industry and regulations continue to bear down on refrigerant Global Warming Potential (GWP), more and more cooling professionals are switching to ultra-low GWP refrigerants that offer a cost-effective option for maintaining a conventional system design while minimizing the GWP level.

That’s why Danfoss has further expanded its portfolio of A2L-compliant refrigeration solutions by extending the cooling capacity range for its Optyma™ Slim Pack and Optyma™ Plus condensing units. The extended cooling capacities are:

  • Up to 11.1 kW MBP for Optyma™ Slim Pack and Optyma™ Plus
  • Up to 1.5 kw LBP for Optyma™ Slim Pack
  • Up to 3.5 kW LBP for Optyma™ Plus

Specific application needs

This means cooling professionals now have even more options available to find an A2L-ready unit

This means cooling professionals now have even more options available to find an A2L-ready unit that matches their specific application needs—giving a unique one-stop-shop offering for multi-refrigerant packaged condensing units.

Compatible with both A2L and A1 refrigerants—e.g., R1234yf, R454C, and R455A—the future-proof design of the Danfoss Optyma™ Slim Pack and Optyma™ Plus condensing units enable a seamless transition to ultra-low GWP refrigerants. This allows the user to make the transition at their own pace with the comfort of the highly serviceable units they know and love, designed to operate with A2L refrigerants safely and without complexity. The Optyma™ condensing units enable the user to gain higher energy efficiency while reducing energy consumption and indirect emissions.

Extended cooling capacity

This powerful combination translates into an economically viable solution that the user can implement. Complementing the extended cooling capacity of the Optyma™ Slim Pack and Optyma™ Plus condensing units, the MLZ evolution B scroll series is now compatible with A2L refrigerants. The LLZ evolution B scroll series will follow suit soon after.

Compatibility with both A1 and A2L refrigerants gives the user full flexibility to take the green transition at their own pace supported by a complete range of compressor solutions compatible with ultra-low GWP refrigerants. Change takes time, but Danfoss is here to guide through the refrigerant transition with frontline knowledge of growing requirements—and provide the products that are A2L-compliant, safe, and easy to install, with low energy consumption.
