REFRIGERANT GAS MAXREF R‑600

MAXREF R-600 (Isobutane) is a natural, ultra-low GWP refrigerant with zero ODP, widely applied in domestic refrigeration. It offers excellent energy efficiency and environmental compatibility. As an ASHRAE A3 classified refrigerant, it is flammable and requires careful handling and system design.

Key Features:

• Ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP ≈ 3) with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0)

• High energy efficiency and low operating costs

• Classified ASHRAE A3: flammable, requires safety measures

• Compact charge size suitable for small refrigeration systems

Specifications:

Applications:

• Domestic refrigerators and freezers

• Small commercial refrigeration units

• Beverage coolers and vending machines in eco-friendly markets

Usage Guidelines:

• Use only in small, hermetically sealed systems

• Comply with charge size limits set by local safety standards

• Ensure adequate ventilation and explosion-proof electrical fittings

• Recover and recycle gas properly during service and maintenance

FAQs:

Q1. Why is MAXREF R-600 considered eco-friendly?
Because it has an extremely low GWP (~3) and zero ozone depletion potential, making it a sustainable alternative to synthetic refrigerants.

Q2. Is MAXREF R-600 safe to use?
It is flammable (A3 safety class) but safe when used in equipment designed for hydrocarbons and handled with proper precautions.

Q3. Can MAXREF R-600 replace refrigerants in older systems?
No. It is only recommended for modern, sealed systems specifically designed for hydrocarbons.
