WHAT IS REFRIGERANT GAS USED FOR?
2023-12-01

Refrigerant gas is widely used in refrigeration, foaming, solvents, and sprays due to its strong chemical stability, thermal stability, 

low surface tension, easy vapor-liquid phase change, non-toxic, lipophilic, and low price. In industries such as cleaning agents and 

electronic  components.     

Let's take a look at 4 of the most common refrigerant gases in the world.


R404A GAS

R404a refrigerant is a common refrigerant used in refrigeration systems. Its chemical name is R-404A, a difluoromethane azeotrope 

of monofluoromethane and difluoromethane. It is a medium-low temperature refrigerant, usually used in refrigeration systems where 

the temperature is below minus 15 degrees. Its characteristics are non-toxic, odorless, non-flammable, non-explosive, and non-corrosive 

to metals, but slightly toxic, so please pay attention to safety when using it.

 

In terms of applications, R404a refrigerant is often used in store refrigeration systems, aircraft engine refrigerated fuel systems, or in 

freezers used in VFC production. In addition, R404a refrigerant is a good substitute for HCFC-125 in refrigeration systems in medium 

and low temperature zones. It has the advantages of high energy saving, high efficiency and environmental protection, low investment, 

low operating cost, safety and reliability.

 

In short, R404a refrigerant is a commonly used refrigerant used in refrigeration systems. It has the advantages of high energy saving, 

high efficiency and environmental protection, safety and reliability. Pay attention to safety when using and avoid contact with skin and inhalation of its gas. If you have more questions, it is recommended to consult a professional.

 

R507 GAS

R507 refrigerant is an environmentally friendly mixed refrigerant, consisting of R125 and R143a. It has low greenhouse effect and 

ozone depletion potential and is widely used in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems.


R507 refrigerant has the following features and advantages:


Efficient performance, wide application, safety and reliability, good compatibility, and environmental protection

R507 refrigerant has a wide range of applications. Common application areas include:

Commercial refrigeration: R507 is commonly used in commercial refrigeration equipment such as supermarket refrigerators, freezers, 

and refrigerated trucks.

Industrial refrigeration: R507 is suitable for industrial refrigeration systems, such as cold storage, refrigerated warehouses, freezing processing equipment, etc.

Air conditioning systems: R507 can be used in the refrigeration cycle of large commercial and industrial air conditioning systems.

 

 

R125 GAS

R125 is a Freon refrigerant with the chemical name 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoroethane. It is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas.

R125 has low greenhouse effect and ozone depletion potential, and is an environmentally friendly refrigerant. It has high cooling 

capacity and thermal properties, and is suitable for medium and high temperature refrigeration systems.

R125 is commonly used in refrigeration equipment in commercial and industrial fields, such as air conditioners, freezers, cold storage, 

etc. It is also commonly used in automotive air conditioning systems and the aerospace industry.

When using R125 refrigerant, you need to pay attention to safe operation and avoid leakage and direct contact. Relevant regulations 

and safety measures must be observed during handling, storage and transportation.

 

R152a GAS

R152a is a fluorocarbon compound with the chemical name 1,1-difluoroethane. It has low toxicity, low solubility and low greenhouse 

effect, so it is widely used in refrigeration systems.

R152a has high cooling capacity and heat transfer properties, making it an ideal refrigerant. Its applications in refrigeration equipment include commercial and household refrigeration systems, refrigeration equipment, air conditioning systems and automotive air 

conditioning systems.

R152a is also widely used in refrigerant mixtures. Common mixtures include R152a/R134a, R152a/R22 and R152a/R32. These mixtures 

can improve refrigerant performance, increase refrigeration efficiency and energy utilization.

R152a has certain environmental safety. It has a lower greenhouse effect and less potential to damage the ozone layer. However, as a fluorocarbon, it still has a certain impact on the environment, so environmental protection requirements need to be paid attention to 

during use and disposal.

In general, R152a is an efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant with broad application prospects. When selecting and using, 

it is necessary to consider its performance, safety and environmental impact, and comply with relevant regulations and standards.
