Solstice N40 R448A
Solstice® N40 (R-448A) is a non-flammable, zeotropic HFO-HFC refrigerant blend with a low GWP, designed as an alternative to R-404A/R-507 for medium- and low-temperature commercial and industrial refrigeration applications. It offers improved energy efficiency and compatibility with existing systems.
Description
Solstice® N40 (R-448A) is a next-generation, hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)-based zeotropic refrigerant blend, developed to replace high-GWP refrigerants such as R-404A and R-507 in direct expansion (DX) refrigeration systems.
This refrigerant combines a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) with excellent energy efficiency, enabling significant reductions in energy consumption compared to older formulations. It is classified as ASHRAE A1 (non-flammable) and is compatible with POE oils commonly used in modern refrigeration circuits.
Key applications include:
-
Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration: Display cases, cold rooms, warehouses, and supermarkets.
-
New Installations or Retrofitting: For systems previously charged with R-404A or R-507.
Solstice® N40 (R-448A) can be used for both new equipment and rapid retrofits without the need to replace critical components such as compressors or lubricants, thereby simplifying system upgrades.
