R423A Refrigerant Gas 11.3KG (25LBS)

Introduction:

R423A refrigerant is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) option with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) used to retrofit R-12 equipment. Because R-12 is a high-ODP chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerant, it is being phased out per the Montreal Protocol. R423A is an excellent alternative that offers comparable cooling characteristics, discharge temperature, and performance to R-12 used in centrifugal chillers.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) have mandated changing lubricants to a polyolester (POE) oil for most system retrofits. Because R423A tolerates high residual levels of mineral oil in POE, systems don't require flushing after switching lubricants.

R423A offers a number of benefits when used in centrifugal chillers.

This nonflammable refrigerant:

• Carries an ASHRAE A1 safety classification
• Avoids expensive engineering changes
• Extends the life of existing chiller equipment
• Requires less investment because current refrigerant does not need to be removed and equipment can be topped off/recharged with R423A during service

Specification:

 
Application:

A long-term non-ozone depleting replacement for R-12 in low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. Suitable for direct expansion evaporators. Do not use in systems that employ flooded evaporators. For new equipment and retrofits.
