The use of R600a is increasing due to its low environmental impact and excellent thermodynamic performance and it is now the refrigerant gas of choice in domestic and small commercial refrigerators. It is non-toxic with zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and very low GWP (Global Warming Potential).
| Common Applications: | |
Domestic Refrigeration |
Commercial Refrigeration |
Commercial Refrigeration: Plug-Ins & Vending Machines |
Industrial Refrigeration |
| Replacement for: |
R12, R134a |
| Retrofit gas or design for new equipment? |
R600 is suitable for new R600 systems. It is a flammable refrigerant and therefore not suitable for retrofitting existing fluorocarbon refrigerant systems. |
| Other alternatives/replacements: |
R290, R1270, R134a |
| Compatible lubricants: |
MO, AB, POE |
