R404A refrigerant is used in refrigeration equipment such as cold storage, food refrigeration equipment, marine refrigeration equipment, industrial cryogenic refrigeration, commercial cryogenic refrigeration, transportation refrigeration equipment (refrigerated trucks, etc.), refrigeration condensation units, supermarket display cabinets and other refrigeration equipment. R404A is a replacement for newly installed refrigeration equipmentR22andR502The most common industry standard refrigerant (usually cryogenic refrigeration systems).
The R404A is closest to the operation of the R502 and is suitable for all environments where the R502 can operate normally. Since R404A is different from R502 and R22 in physical and chemical properties, theoretical cycle performance, and compressor oil, etc., for after-sales maintenance of refrigeration equipment initially installed with R502 and R22 refrigerants, if additional refrigerants need to be added or replaced, only R502 and R22 can be added, and usually R404A cannot be directly replaced. The R404A is suitable for new commercial refrigeration equipment, transportation refrigeration equipment or newer equipment at medium to low temperatures, can reach 15 ° F (-9.4 ° C) or colder, and is suitable for all environments where R502 can operate normally.
