R417A refrigerant is a replacementR22long-term solution,Very close to the operating pressure and efficiency of R22,Without requiring changes to equipment and systems, it is suitable for various air conditioning and refrigeration units using R22. It is miscible with existing refrigeration oils and is suitable for use with typical R22 direct expansion (DX) systems. Currently, the R417A is being replaced in EuroperefrigerantIt accounts for more than 80% of the market share and is widely used to replace central air-conditioning refrigerants in shopping malls, hotels, supermarkets and office places. Its energy-saving, environmentally friendly, efficient and simple replacement (no need to replace compressors and expansion valves) has made it the preferred product in Europe to replace R22. In particular, it is the first choice of new energy-saving refrigerant for air source heat pump water heaters.

Main uses of R417a
R417A is an HFC refrigerant with zero ODP. It can directly replace direct expansion fixed air conditioning systems using R22 and medium temperature commercial refrigeration systems. Simple and convenient to use. Applications: Air source heat pump water heaters, domestic and commercial air conditioning systems. Note: For chillers,R422DIt is more suitable for medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems, including: 1) catering refrigeration 2) supermarket display cabinets 3) food storage and processing.
Lubricating oil use recommendations: R417A is compatible with traditional and newrefrigerant oil, including: mineral oil (MO), alkylbenzene lubricants (AB), and ester lubricants (POE). In most cases, the replacement process does not require changing the lubricant type.
