ABOUT THE Product
R410A Refrigerant OVERVIEW
R-410A is a member of the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) class of refrigerants and is composed of equal parts R-32 and R-125. Its chemical formula is CH₂F₂ + CHF₂CF₃.
Classified as a zeotropic refrigerant blend (meaning its constituent substances boil at different temperatures), R-410A is considered to be “near-azeotropic” This means that despite the disparity between its components’ boiling temperatures, it results in very little glide – which describes the temperature difference between the start of the first substance’s boiling process and the conclusion of the second’s. The table below shows some other properties of R-410A.
APPLICATIONS
R-410A is primarily used in commercial and residential HVAC systems.
LUBRICANTS
Equipment requires compressor synthetic polyester (POE) oil. Depending on the equipment and operating conditions, viscosity is selected. There are several manufacturers producing lines of refrigeration oils for the 410 refrigerant:
- Mobil EAL Arctic 32.46, 68.100
- PLANETELF ACD 32.46, 68.100
- Suniso SL 32, 46,68,100
- Emkarate RL 32, 46, 68, 85,100, 170, 220
- Biltzer BSE 32, 55, 170, 170L
