R450A refrigerant will replace R134a

Recently, the United States announced that it will include R450A refrigerant in new refrigerant replacement. It is reported that R450A refrigerant was developed by Honeywell. The refrigerant is an incombustible mixture. The group distribution ratio is 42% of R134a and 58% of HFO-1234ze, ODP value is zero, GWP value is approximately It is 601.

It is understood that the new refrigerant R450A is considered as an ideal alternative and can be widely applied to products, including retail food refrigeration systems, refrigeration/freezing transport, water coolers, cold storage, industrial process cooling, piston type, Screw and scroll chillers, centrifugal chillers, household refrigerators and freezers, and industrial process air conditioning systems.

As an alternative to the R134a chiller system or as a medium temperature refrigerant in a CO2 cascade system, the R450A refrigerant shows very good performance. In addition, in the Spanish port city of Valencia, the refrigerant has also achieved good results as a direct charge replacement for R404A.
