냉매제 가격 아직 안 오르는 듯

미국은 여전히 날이 쌀쌀하다. 냉매제 가격이 아직 안 오르는 이유.

I don't think I caught it. But let's just start with current prices and what you're seeing in real time for R22 and R-410A in the market?

R22 continues to remain strong in $30 plus range and probably will continue as we really have normal economics with relative to supply and demand. HFC pricing came down at the tail end of the last year's selling season and it continues to be soft as we begin this year season.

Pricing for HFCs are in that $10 plus range, which are down from where we were last year. This particular year so far, we haven't had a lot of warmer weather even in the southern states. So we think it's been a slow start, mainly because of lack of AC demand. But as we always say, it's a nine month season and we expect that demand to begin as soon as we get the warmer weather.

 

냉매제 영향 주는 건 그냥 온도라고 보면 된다.

 

Typically, really, though, what impacts a nine month selling season for us is weather, If you don't have warm weather, you're not going to turn your AC systems on, our entire industry, and the seasonal demand is driven by that AC demand. So we're waiting for the warmer weather to come, which we expect. And then we ought to have a fairly normal selling season.
