HFC Refrigerants

R134a

R134a is a HFC refrigerant (Tetrofluoroethane) commonly used for medium temperature applications such as air conditioning, commercial and domestic refrigeration, and automotive airconditioning. It is non toxic and non flammable.

It is a single-component refrigerant with no glide, featured in many large commercial screw chillers. It is a hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC) that does not contribute to ozone depletion; also the first non-ozone-depleting fluorocarbon refrigerant to be commercialized

ODP = 0

GWP = 1300

Oil = polyolester (POE) or polyalkylene glycol (PAG)

R404a

R404A is a blend of HFC refrigerants commonly used for medium and low temperature refrigeration applications. It is non toxic and non flammable meeting

ODP = 0

GWP = 3260

Oil = POE

R410a

R410A is a blend of HFC refrigerants now commonly used for air conditioning applications. R410A was not designed to retrofit existing R22 systems but many manufcturers have used its superior qualities to build products with higher efficiencies. It is non toxic and non flammable. Often referred to by a brand name such as Puron®, Suva® 9100, or Genetron® AZ-20®. R-410A is the most common refrigerant for new light commercial unitary air conditioning systems

ODP = 0

GWP = 1725

Oil = POE

R407c

R407C is a blend of HFC refrigerants designed to replace R22 in air conditioning applications. Many manufactures designed equipment to suit this refrigerant. It is non toxic and non flammable. Often referred to by a brand name such as Suva® 407C or Genetron® 407C. Of the higher temperature HFC options, R-407C most closely matches the operating characteristics of R-22
