R290 (Propane) is refrigerant grade propane, used as an alternative to R404A and R407 series refrigerants in new refrigeration and air conditioning systems. R290 (Propane) is a Hydrocarbon and although highly flammable it is an efficient refrigerant that has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
Applications
It is used as a refrigerant in:
Commercial Refrigeration
Commercial Air Conditioning
Industrial Refrigeration
Industrial Air Conditioning
Product Features and Benefits
Refrigerant can be charged from either the liquid and vapor phase
PVCK refrigerant cylinders have dual port valves, making liquid offtake easier
Flammable and non-toxic with a safety classification of A3
Compressors can be charged with a variety of oils, contact the compressor manufacturer for more information
Low GWP of 3
Excellent thermodynamic properties leading to high energy efficiency
Low charges allow for smaller heat exchanges and piping dimensions
Due to its flammable nature R290 (Propane) requires different charging and recovery procedures
