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.
