What is R442A refrigerant?
R442A, also known as RS-50, is an HFC blend that is suitable for use in low and medium temperature refrigeration applications such as those used in commercial refrigeration. It can be used as a retrofit replacement for R22, R404A or R507 systems.
What is refrigerant R507A?
R507A refrigerant is an azeotropic HFC mixture. It has replaced refrigerant R502 in low and medium temperature applications. R507A has a wide range of applications, and it is also suitable for wet evaporation systems. It has good heat transfer properties in the context of condensation.
Is R507 a HFC?
R507 is a HFC blend, used as a replacement for R502 and R22 in low and medium temperature refrigeration. With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3985, R507 is under similar scrutiny to R404A.
What is R717 refrigerant?
R717 is refrigerant grade high purity ammonia (NH3). The product typically is 99.98% pure with minimal levels of moisture and other impurities (< 200 ppm and < 5 ppm oil), making it ideal for use in all types of refrigeration systems, especially in the air conditioning industry.
Is R404a the same as R507?
R507 is an azeotropic refrigerant with a lower slip temperature than R404a. The composition change of R507 after multiple leaks is less than that of R404a, the volumetric cooling capacity of R507 is unchanged, and the volumetric cooling capacity of R404a is reduced by about 1.6%.
Can I replace R404a with R507?
Please note that only A1 class refrigerants should replace R404A, R507 or R134a in an existing system.
What is R502 refrigerant?
Product Type: CFC Developed for use in low temperature refrigeration (the evaporator pressure stays out of vacuum down to -40°F). R-502 offers lower discharge temperature and improved capacity compared to R-22.
What is R718 refrigerant?
R718 is an ideal refrigerant for the proposed high-temperature industrial heat pumps. Direct evaporation and condensation are advantages of the new system which lead to higher COP and to simplification of the plant and low cost. The characteristics and peculiarities of R718 centrifugal compressors are discussed.
Can I replace R404A with R507?
Will R507 be phased out?
What has been decided? In the new legislation on synthetic refrigerants, the refrigerants R404A and R507 are being phased out quickly. These are gasses with a GWP value above 2,500. As of January 1, 2020, replenishing your installation may only be done with the reclaimed and/or regenerated refrigerant R404A or R507.
What is the difference between R404A and R507?
The average pressure ratio of R507 is higher by 2.8%, while that of R404A is higher by 19.6% than that of R22. R507 has advantage of lower compressor power than both R22 and R404A. The average compressor power of the system obtained using R507 and R404A are 6.5% lower and 7.2% higher than that of R22, respectively.
Is R507 and R404A the same?
What is the replacement for R507?
Opteon™ XP40 (R-449A) GWP 1397 Low GWP, HFO based refrigerant which can replace R-404A and R-507 in both new and existing equipment. For commercial and industrial medium and low temperature equipment.
Is R507 being phased out?
In the new legislation on synthetic refrigerants, the refrigerants R404A and R507 are being phased out quickly. These are gasses with a GWP value above 2,500. As of January 1, 2020, replenishing your installation may only be done with the reclaimed and/or regenerated refrigerant R404A or R507.
What is the best replacement for 404A?
What are the best replacements for R404A? For cold rooms and other small to medium commercial refrigeration applications, R448A and R449A and R452A or R134a are excellent alternatives to R404A, with from 50 to 65% reduction in GWP.
What is the replacement for R502?
R404A refrigerant
R404A refrigerant is accepted as an alternative to R502 in the new equipment. It can be used also for charging of some systems operating on R502, such as commercial refrigeration equipment of big universal shops, refrigeration facilities of food industry factories, transport refrigeration facilities.
