Refrigerant

The refrigerant used in Benson Airconditioning systems is Hydrocarbon and it is a naturally occurring refrigerant.

Hychill R290 is a naturally occurring Refrigerant and has been certified to display the "Environmental Choice Australia" logo.

R290 has only 3 Global Warming Potential/KG compared to R410a, which has a massive 1,890 Global Warming Potential/KG*.

We can install over 1,400 systems for the same GWP as one unit with R410a refrigerant**.

This is something that should definitely be considered when purchasing an Airconditioning system.

Heat Pump Heating

Heating power (kW) indicated in this site is based on the following conditions: outdoor temperature of 7°C and indoor temperature of 20°C, as specified in the Australian standards.

The heating capacity decreases as the outdoor temperature drops.

When heated air rises and collects in a room with a high ceiling, a ceiling fan to push the warmer air down is recommended.

Noise Emissions

The noise emissions rate indicated in this website show values (A scale) measured in a special acoustic chamber.

In actual conditions, noise emission is generally higher than the indicated rate due to surrounding noise and echoing.

To ensure the best position of installation, please discuss this with your Benson Airconditioning dealer.
