R410A is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant blend made of difluoromethane (R-32) and pentafluoroethane (R-125) in equal parts. It was developed as a cleaner, higher-performance replacement for older refrigerants like R22, which depletes the ozone layer and is now banned in most countries.

Inside your AirX air conditioner, R410A cycles continuously between liquid and gas states — absorbing heat from inside your room and releasing it outdoors. The key advantage is that R410A operates at a higher pressure than older refrigerants, which means the compressor can transfer heat more efficiently and deliver more powerful cooling per unit of electricity consumed.
