Description
Refrix R‑410A Refrigerant Gas
Refrix R‑410A is an azeotropic HFC refrigerant blend known for its excellent energy efficiency and zero ozone depletion potential. It was specifically designed to replace R‑22 in new-generation air conditioners and heat pumps. Due to its higher pressure characteristics and better heat transfer efficiency, R‑410A enables modern HVAC systems to deliver better performance, lower energy consumption, and reduced environmental impact (excluding GWP).
Key Features:
-
✅ Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0)
-
✅ Higher cooling capacity and efficiency than R‑22
-
✅ ASHRAE A1 Safety Rating Non-toxic, Non-flammable
-
✅ Stable azeotropic blend no composition change during leakage
-
✅ Widely used in residential and commercial HVAC systems
-
✅ Requires POE oil ideal for newer, energy-efficient systems
Applications:
| Application Area | Common Uses |
|---|---|
| Residential HVAC | Split-type and ducted air conditioners |
| Commercial AC | Rooftop units, VRF systems, packaged systems |
| Heat Pumps | High-efficiency heating and cooling systems |
| Portable AC Units | Spot coolers, mobile air conditioners |
| Chillers | Light commercial and mid-size chiller units |
Usage Guidelines:
-
Use only in systems designed for R‑410A’s high pressure
-
Requires POE (Polyolester) oil for lubrication
-
Cannot be retrofitted into R‑22 systems entirely different pressure levels
-
Always charge as liquid to ensure blend consistency
-
Ensure tools, hoses, and gauges are rated for R‑410A pressures

FAQs
1. Can R‑410A be used as a replacement for R‑22 in old systems?
No. R‑410A operates at much higher pressures than R‑22 and is only compatible with systems specifically designed for it. Retrofitting is not recommended or safe.
2. Why is R‑410A considered more efficient?
R‑410A offers better heat transfer, higher pressure operation, and greater cooling capacity, making it more energy-efficient than older refrigerants like R‑22.
3. Is R‑410A environmentally safe?
R‑410A has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), but a high GWP (~2088). While safe for the ozone layer, emissions should be minimized by proper recovery and recycling.
