Opteon XL10
Ultra low GWP (4) A2L safety class alternative to R-134a for use in medium and low temperature refrigeration and heat pump applications.
Features and Benefits
- Ultra Low GWP – Long term sustainable and compliant with F-Gas legislation
- Equivalent cooling performance to R-134a – Same compressor size compared to R‑134a
- Single component refrigerant – can be used in direct expansion and flooded systems. No temperature glide.
- Boiling point -29°C – Positive suction pressure in low temperature applications
Packaging and Supply
- Climalife supply Opteon™ XL10 in 5kg or 11kg returnable cylinders.
- Conforms to AHRI 700-2016 specifications.
- As Opteon™ XL10 is safety class A2L, it is important to use the right equipment for handling Opteon™ XL10.
