Chinese Supplier and Exporter of R600a Refrigerant Gas
FRIOFLOR produces R600a (isobutane) refrigerant gas in two main packaging options:
6.5KG Cylinders – Suitable for smaller-scale applications, such as domestic or light commercial refrigeration.
450KG Ton Tanks – Designed for large-scale industrial or commercial refrigeration systems requiring bulk refrigerant supply.
R600a is a hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerant gaining popularity due to its eco-friendliness and energy efficiency. Here’s how it compares to other common refrigerants like R134a, R404A, R410A, and R32:
1. Energy Efficiency & Performance
Higher Cooling Efficiency – R600a has better thermodynamic properties, leading to lower energy consumption (up to 10-20% savings compared to R134a).
Better Heat Absorption – Requires less refrigerant charge due to its high latent heat capacity.
Compatible with Mineral Oil (MO) & Alkylbenzene (AB) Lubricants – Unlike HFCs (which often need POE oil), R600a works with traditional oils, reducing system complexity.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
Lower Refrigerant Cost – R600a is cheaper than synthetic refrigerants like R404A or R410A.
Reduced System Wear – Because of its compatibility with mineral oils, compressors may have a longer lifespan.
3.Safety & Handling Considerations
Highly Flammable (A3 Safety Class) – Unlike R134a (A1) or R32 (A2L), R600a requires proper handling to avoid fire risks.
Used in Sealed Systems – Common in domestic refrigerators but not ideal for large industrial systems with leak risks.
| Refrigerant | Type | ODP | GWP | Flammability | Efficiency | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R600a | HC (Natural) | 0 | 3 | A3 (High) | Very High | Domestic fridges, freezers |
| R134a | HFC | 0 | 1430 | A1 (Non-flammable) | Moderate | Auto AC, chillers |
| R404A | HFC Blend | 0 | 3922 | A1 | Low-Medium | Commercial refrigeration |
| R410A | HFC Blend | 0 | 2088 | A1 | High | Residential AC |
| R32 | HFC | 0 | 675 | A2L (Mildly Flammable) | High | New AC systems |
