WHAT IS TEWI?
TEWI stands for Total Equivalent Warming Input. It takes into account not only the ODP or a refrigerant but also the GWP. For example it is a measure of the combined efficiency of the direct working of the refrigeration system energy consumption and also a percentage of refrigerant leakage to atmosphere.

HOW DO YOU CHARGE A SYSTEM WITH R 411B?
Always liquid charge. Following the charging guidelines supplied.


WHAT IS GLIDE?
R 411B is a blend whose components have slightly different thermodynamic characteristics. The glide is a measure of difference between the boiling points of the components of the blend. The smaller the glide, the better. R 411B has a glide of

0.7 – 1.7K. R502 has a glide of 0.9º. R407C has a glide of 5-7K.


IF R 411B IS SO GOOD WHY DOESN’T EVERYONE USE IT?
People find it hard to believe that Greencool can make a better refrigerant that the giant Chemical Companies. However, Greencool only manufacture refrigerants and have invested considerable time and resources developing R 411B. Once people actually use R 411B they are convinced and return for more.
