Opteon XL10

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.

Why Choose Climalife?

Climalife are a key player in the distribution of refrigerants and other climate control products, with a nationwide distribution network and product knowledge that is second to none.

How does Opteon XL10 compare to R-134a?

Opteon™ XL10 has an equivalent cooling performance to R-134a and very similar pressure temperature relationship making it an ideal ultra low GWP alternative to R‑134a. Opteon™ XL10 does have the safety classification A2L due to its low flammability. Opteon™ XL10 should only be used in systems compatible for use with low flammability refrigerants.

Full theoretical performance comparisons at customer specified conditions are available from Climalife on request.
