R-407A Refrigerant (HFC Blend)
R-407A Refrigerant – Retrofit Blend for Refrigeration
R-407A refrigerant is an HFC blend designed as a retrofit replacement for R-22 and R-404A in medium- and low-temperature refrigeration systems. Offering lower discharge temperatures and improved energy efficiency compared to older refrigerants, R-407A is used in supermarkets, food service equipment, and cold storage facilities.
Common Applications
- Medium-temperature commercial refrigeration
- Low-temperature supermarket and cold storage systems
- Food service and restaurant refrigeration equipment
Cylinder Sizes & Packaging
- 25 lb cylinder
Key Advantages
- Retrofit capability for systems previously using R-22 or R-404A
- Lower discharge temperature for extended compressor life
- Zero ozone depletion potential
Important Notes
- Not a drop-in: Retrofitting requires adjustments such as lubricant and component checks.
- Primarily refrigeration use: R-407A is not typically used in residential A/C systems.
- Certification: EPA Section 608 certification may be required for handling and purchase.
