R454A Opteon™ XL40
R-454A (Opteon™ XL40)
Very Low GWP (239) A2L safety class alternative to R-404A, R-507A, R-407A, R-407F for non-hermetic refrigeration applications (excluding multi-compressor retail and food service applications of 40kW or greater cooling capacity).
Features and Benefits
- Very low GWP –Sustainable and compliant with F-Gas legislation
- Increased performance compared to R-404A – Lower indirect emissions and operating costs.
- Approved by equipment manufacturers – New equipment available.
Packaging and Supply
- Climalife supply R-454A in 9kg or 45kg returnable cylinders.
- Conforms to AHRI 700-2016 specifications.
- As R-454A is safety class A2L, it is important to use the right equipment for handling R-454A.
