Refrigeration Gases

R-410A is highly efficient nearly azeotropic mixture (gases evaporate at nearly the same temperatures) of two gasses ideally suited for replacing R-22 in scroll compressor packages.

R22 is a single component HCFC refrigerant that has historically been used for air conditioning, medium temperature and low temperature refrigeration. R22 causes ozone depletion and as a result is subject to legislation that is phasing down its use in Australia. R22 will still be available until 2030 and can be obtained as a recycled product (AHRI 700 standard) from A-Gas.

Floron Gas R134A Cane is the leading HFC refrigerant for replacing R-22 in positive displacement residential and light commercial air-conditioning and heat pump systems. It has the higher cooling capacity and significantly higher pressure than R-22 and should be used only in systems specifically designed for R-410A.

R22 is suitable for a wide range of refrigeration and air conditioning applications across a wide range of temperatures. Therefore it became the most common refrigerant in many applications after the phase out of CFCs.

R290 (CARE 40) Propane R290, also known as CARE® 40, is refrigerant grade propane, a natural, or "not in kind", refrigerant suitable for use in a range of refrigeration and air conditioning applications. The use of R290 is increasing due to its low environmental impact and excellent thermodynamic performance.

R600a (Iso-Butane) is refrigerant grade Iso-Butane used as a replacement for R12 and R134a in a variety of high temperature refrigeration applications. R600a (Iso-Butane) is a hydrocarbon that is becoming increasingly popular due to its low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
