Description
Snowman Refrigerant Gas R-417A is a high-quality hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant blend designed primarily as a retrofit replacement for R-22 in both air conditioning and medium-temperature refrigeration systems. Combining the properties of R-125, R-134a, and R-600a, this blend offers reliable cooling performance while meeting environmental standards by eliminating ozone-depleting components.
Key Features
• Retrofit Replacement for R-22: Suitable for upgrading older R-22 systems without major modifications, helping extend equipment life.
• Environmental Compliance: Zero ODP makes it environmentally responsible compared to legacy refrigerants.
• Non-Flammable and Safe: Classified as non-flammable and non-toxic (ASHRAE A1), ensuring safe handling.
• Oil Compatibility: Works well with common compressor oils such as mineral oil, alkylbenzene, or POE, often avoiding the need for oil change during retrofits.
Applications
• Residential and commercial air conditioning systems
• Medium-temperature commercial refrigeration units
• Food service cold storage and supermarket cases
Safety and Handling
• Storage: Store cylinders in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Handling: Use appropriate PPE (gloves, safety goggles) when handling refrigerant cylinders.
• Leak Detection: Regular system checks help maintain efficiency and safety.
