FLORON REFRIGERANT GAS R-407

Floron R-407C Refrigerant Gas is a high-efficiency, environmentally safer alternative to R-22, formulated with a blend of R-32, R-125, and R-134a. Designed for air-conditioning and refrigeration applications, it offers Zero Ozone Depletion Potential, consistent cooling performance, and smooth operation across a wide temperature range. Its pressure–temperature behavior closely matches R-22, making it ideal for retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Eco-Friendly: Zero ODP, ASHRAE A1 safety rating.
• R22 Retrofit Ready: Similar operating pressures enable easier conversions.
• High Efficiency: Delivers strong cooling capacity and consistent performance.
• Temperature Glide: ~7–8°C glide suitable for properly designed systems.
• POE Oil Compatible: Requires Polyolester oil for lubrication.
• High Purity: Moisture-free packaging ensures system reliability.

Applications

• Residential split air-conditioners
• Commercial packaged HVAC units
• Heat pumps (domestic & commercial)
• Medium-temperature refrigeration systems
• R-22 system retrofits

Cylinder Dimensions & Handling

• Height (7 kg cylinder): approx. 45–48 cm
• Diameter: approx. 23–25 cm
• High-strength steel cylinder for durability
• Store between 0–45°C in a ventilated area
• Charge as liquid to maintain blend composition

Retrofit Guidelines (R-22 → R-407C)

• Recover all R-22 from the system completely
• Replace mineral oil with POE oil
• Replace filter-drier and check seals
• Evacuate system to deep vacuum
• Charge R-407C as liquid

Safety & Storage

• Non-flammable, low toxicity (A1)
• Use proper PPE (gloves, goggles)
• Keep cylinder upright during charging
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat

FAQs

1. Does R-407C have temperature glide?
Yes—about 7–8°C, which must be considered during system design and servicing.

2. Is R-407C a drop-in replacement for R-22?
No. A proper retrofit process is required, including oil change and system adjustments.

3. Is R-407C better than R-410A for retrofits?
Yes—its pressure profile is much closer to R-22, making it more retrofit-friendly.

4. What oil is required?
Only POE oil should be used with R-407C.

5. Can I charge it as gas?
No. R-407C is a blend and must always be charged as liquid.
