  • Q Introduction of Refrigerant Gas R410a

    A Basic Introduction of R410a Refrigerant Gas:

    R410A:
    It is a new type of environmentally friendly refrigerant, does not destroy the ozone layer, the working pressure is about 1.6 times that of ordinary R22 air conditioners, and the cooling (heating) efficiency is high. R410A new refrigerant is composed of two quasi-azeotropic mixtures R32 and R125 each with 50%, mainly composed of hydrogen, fluorine and carbon elements (expressed as hfc), which is stable, non-toxic, and superior in performance. At the same time, since it does not contain chlorine, it will not react with ozone, that is, it will not destroy the ozone layer. In addition, the performance of air conditioners using new refrigerants will also be improved. R410A was once recognized internationally as the most suitable refrigerant to replace R22, and it has been popularized in Europe, America, Japan and other countries. R410A replaces the global trends in major international markets and the outlook for its use and the dynamics of entering the international market.

    Physical Properties

    R410A, is a kind of mixed refrigerant, it is a mixture composed of 50% R32 (difluoromethane) and 50% R125 (pentafluoroethane). Its advantage is that it can be used according to specific requirements, for various properties, such as Taking flammability, capacity, exhaust temperature and efficiency into consideration, a refrigerant is tailored.
    R410A is colorless, non-turbid, volatile, boiling point -51.6℃, freezing point -155℃; its main characteristics are:
    (1) Does not destroy the ozone layer. Its molecular formula does not contain chlorine, so its ozone depletion potential (ODP) is 0. The global warming factor (GWP) is 2025.
    (2) Very low toxicity. The allowable concentration is 1000 ppm as R22.
    (3) Non-flammable. The flammable polarity in the air is zero.
    (4) High chemical and thermal stability
    (5) The water solubility is almost the same as R22.
    (6) It is a mixed refrigerant, composed of two refrigerants

    Future Prospect of R410a

    As people's awareness of environmental protection increases, people have higher and higher requirements for product environmental protection. Compressor refrigerants range from R12, R22, R134a, R407C to R410A, and people’s efforts to environmental protection have not changed. R410A is not the end of the development of environmentally friendly refrigerants but a new starting point. R410A does not harm the ozone layer, but has a higher greenhouse effect (GWP is 1730). People have begun to start with the greenhouse effect again, and introduced more environmentally friendly and efficient refrigerant compressors. R32 has a higher greenhouse effect (GWP is 670) and R290 (GWP is 3.3).

    Product Category: HFC

    Chemical composition: pentafluoroethane/trifluoroethane/tetrafluoroethane mixture

    Refrigerant R404A, alias R404A, product names include SUVA HP62, SUVA 404A, Genetron 404A, etc. As R404A belongs to the HFC-type non-azeotropic environmentally friendly refrigerant (completely does not contain ozone-depleting CFC, HCFC), it is currently recognized and recommended by most countries in the world as the mainstream low-temperature environmentally friendly refrigerant. Re-added during installation and maintenance. It complies with the standards of the US environmental protection organization EPA, SNAP and UL, and complies with the A1 safety level category of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) (this is the highest level and harmless to humans).

    Application of R404a Refrigerant

    As a widely used medium and low temperature refrigerant today, R404A is often used in cold storage, food freezing equipment, marine refrigeration equipment, industrial low temperature refrigeration, commercial low temperature refrigeration, transportation refrigeration equipment (refrigerated trucks, etc.), refrigerated condensing units, supermarket display cabinets Wait for refrigeration equipment.

    Refrigerant R404A is the most common industry standard refrigerant (usually low temperature refrigeration system) to replace Freon R22 and R502 in newly installed refrigeration equipment. R404A is the closest to the operation of R-502, and it is suitable for all R-502 that can operate normally. Environment, R404A is recognized and used by most refrigeration equipment manufacturers in the world. However, because R404A is different from R502 and R22 in physical and chemical properties, theoretical cycle performance, and compressor oil, the after-sales maintenance of refrigeration equipment initially installed as R502 and R22 refrigerants, if you need to add or replace refrigerants, still Only R502 and R22 can be added, usually R404A cannot be used to replace R502 and R22 directly (that is, exchange-type replacement is usually not possible).

  • Q Introduction of Refrigerant Gas R407c

    A Basic Introduction of Refrigernat Gas R407c

    R407c is a mixture of R32 refrigerant and R125/refrigerant plus R134a refrigerant in a certain proportion. It is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that does not destroy the ozone layer.

    R407C has very similar characteristics and performance to R22, so it has become a long-term alternative to R22 and is used in various air conditioning systems and non-centrifugal refrigeration systems.
    R407C can be used in the original R22 system without redesigning the system. It only needs to replace a few parts of the original system, and replace the mineral refrigerating oil in the original system with a lubricating oil (POE oil) that is miscible with R407C, and then it can be directly filled R407C, realize the environmental protection replacement of the original equipment.
    Since R407C is a mixed non-azeotropic working fluid, in order to ensure that its mixed composition does not change, R407C must be filled in a liquid state. If refrigerant leakage occurs in the R407C system and the performance of the system changes significantly, the remaining R407C in the system cannot be recycled and reused. The remaining R407C refrigerant in the system must be emptied and recharged with new R407C refrigerant.

    Application of Refrigerant Gas R407c

    R407C is a ternary non-azeotropic refrigerant introduced as a substitute for R22. In actual replacement, you only need to replace the lubricating oil, change its dryer and other minor parts. In order to improve the easy decomposition of ester oil into residues, additives are often added to the system. When in use, in order to give full play to its advantages, it is best to choose a counterflow heat exchanger. In addition, the area of the condenser and the flow rate of the cooling medium also increase. R407c also has the characteristics of cleanliness, low toxicity, non-combustibility, and good cooling effect, and is widely used in the air conditioning industry.
