Forane ® 407A

Replacement / retrofit for R-22 in DX systems

Identification

  • 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, Pentafluoroethane, Difluoromethane
  • HFC
  • Zeotropic blend

Applications

  • Cooling cases
  • Food processing
  • Freezers
  • Refrigerated display cabinets
  • Refrigerators
  • Vending machines
  • Wine coolers

Advantages

  • Forane® 407A (R-407A) is a non-ozone depleting, zeotropic blend of HFC refrigerants R-32, R-125, and R-134a. 
  • Forane® 407A is a lower GWP refrigerant, designed for the replacement of R-404A and R-507A (retrofit and new equipment) in medium and low temperature refrigeration.
  • Common applications include supermarket refrigeration, refrigerated transports, and food processing. R-407A can also be used as an R22 retrofit for medium and low temperature refrigeration systems but is not intended for air-conditioning applications nor recommended for use in systems with flooded evaporators.
  • Overall system capacities and efficiencies of an R-407A retrofit will be similar to those of R-22 for the US.
