Description
Overview
Floron R-407C Refrigerant Gas is a high-efficiency, environmentally safer alternative to R-22, formulated with a blend of R-32, R-125, and R-134a. Designed for air-conditioning and refrigeration applications, it offers Zero Ozone Depletion Potential, consistent cooling performance, and smooth operation across a wide temperature range. Its pressure–temperature behavior closely matches R-22, making it ideal for retrofit projects.
Key Features
- Eco-Friendly: Zero ODP, ASHRAE A1 safety rating.
- R22 Retrofit Ready: Similar operating pressures enable easier conversions.
- High Efficiency: Delivers strong cooling capacity and consistent performance.
- Temperature Glide: ~7–8°C glide suitable for properly designed systems.
- POE Oil Compatible: Requires Polyolester oil for lubrication.
- High Purity: Moisture-free packaging ensures system reliability.
Applications
- Residential split air-conditioners
- Commercial packaged HVAC units
- Heat pumps (domestic & commercial)
- Medium-temperature refrigeration systems
- R-22 system retrofits

FAQs
1. Does R-407C have temperature glide?
Yes—about 7–8°C, which must be considered during system design and servicing.
2. Is R-407C a drop-in replacement for R-22?
No. A proper retrofit process is required, including oil change and system adjustments.
3. Is R-407C better than R-410A for retrofits?
Yes—its pressure profile is much closer to R-22, making it more retrofit-friendly.
4. What oil is required?
Only POE oil should be used with R-407C.
5. Can I charge it as gas?
No. R-407C is a blend and must always be charged as liquid.
