R455A Solstice® L40X

R-455A (Solstice® L40X)

Very Low GWP (148) A2L safety class alternative to R-404A, R-507A, R-407A, R-407F for all direct expansion refrigeration applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Very low (<150) GWP –Sustainable and compliant with F-Gas legislation
  • Good energy performance compared to R-404A – Lower indirect emissions and operating costs.
  • Approved by many equipment manufacturers – Choice of new equipment available.

Packaging and Supply

  • Climalife supply R-455A in 4.5kg, 10kg or 50kg returnable cylinders.
  • Conforms to AHRI 700-2016 specifications.
  • As R-455A is safety class A2L, it is important to use the right equipment for handling R-455A.

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 R-455A compare to R-404A?

R-455A has a similar cooling capacity compared to R-404A with improved energy efficiency compared to R‑404A. R‑455A does have the safety classification A2L due to its low flammability. R‑455A 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.
