R448A

R448A is a HFO blend refrigerant suitable for use in low and medium temperature applications.

R448A was developed as a lower GWP alternative to R404A, R507, R407F and R22.

Characteristics

• As a retrofit replacement for R404A in supermarket applications, R448A delivers a reduction in power consumption and a significant reduction in carbon footprint in low and medium temperature applications
• R448A is a better alternative to R404A in both low and medium temperature supermarket applications as it has a higher capacity and 5 – 10% better energy efficiency than R404A
• Polyolester oil is required with R448A to ensure adequate oil return
• Existing TX valves may operate satisfactorily with R448A, superheat adjustment will be required. Where practical an electronic expansion device should be considered

Available Sizes

H448010 – 10kg Cylinder

H448055 – 55kg Cylinder
