Refrigerant R407C: A Blended Refrigerant with Moderate Environmental Impact
Refrigerant R407C is a HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant with a moderate global warming potential (GWP) of 2,088. It is a blend of refrigerants R32, R125, and R134a, offering a balance between environmental concerns and operational performance.
R407C Applications and Properties
R407C is primarily used in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems, including display cases, refrigerators, and chillers. It is also suitable for air conditioning applications, particularly split-type and packaged systems. R407C has a low toxicity and flammability, making it a relatively safe refrigerant to handle.
R407C Substitutes and Compatibility
R407C can be used as a substitute for R22, an older HCFC refrigerant with a high GWP and ozone depletion potential. It can also effectively replace R502, a blend of R22 and R115. R407C is compatible with most existing refrigeration systems designed for R22 and R502, although some modifications may be necessary in older systems.
Buy R407C in Europe
EU Regulations and Phase-out Schedule: The European Union (EU) F-Gas Regulation is phasing out the use of high-GWP refrigerants, including R22 and R407C. R407C is still permitted for use in new equipment in the EU until January 1, 2025, for most applications. However, it is expected to undergo a phased-out approach in the coming years, with a complete ban by 2030.
Overall, R407C offers a balance between environmental concerns and operational performance. While it is still permitted in the EU for now, the impending phase-out highlights the need to consider lower-GWP refrigerants for sustainable future HVAC applications.
