R-407A Refrigerant
R-407A is an HFC refrigerant blend designed as a replacement for R-22 and R-404A in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. It has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than R-404A while maintaining similar performance.
Composition:
- R-32 (20%) – Enhances efficiency
- R-125 (40%) – Provides cooling capacity
- R-134a (40%) – Ensures stability and oil compatibility
