R515B Solstice® N15
R-515B (Solstice® N15)
Very low GWP (293) A1 safety class, energy-efficient alternative to traditional refrigerants for air-cooled and water-cooled chillers in a range of applications including supermarkets, commercial buildings and crane cab air conditioning.
Features and Benefits
- Very Low GWP – Long term sustainable and compliant with F-Gas legislation
- Azeotropic refrigerant blend – can be used in direct expansion and flooded systems. Negligible temperature glide.
- Comparable energy efficiency to R-134a – Lower indirect emissions and lower operating costs.
- Approved by equipment manufacturers –New equipment available.
- A1 (non-flammable) safety class – Ideal retrofit candidate for R-227ea.
Packaging and Supply
- Climalife supply R-515B in 12.5kg and 60kg returnable cylinders.
- Conforms to AHRI 700-2016 specifications.
