SEASON REFRIGERANT GAS R-404

SEASON Refrigerant Gas R-404A is a widely trusted HFC blend engineered specifically for commercial refrigeration and low to medium temperature cooling. Known for its strong cooling efficiency, thermodynamic stability, and reliable performance, R-404A is used extensively in supermarkets, cold storage facilities, food processing units, refrigerated vehicles, and industrial cooling systems.

With Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0) and consistent performance under demanding conditions, SEASON R-404A offers a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible alternative to older CFC and HCFC refrigerants such as R-502 and R-22.

Key Features

• Strong Cooling Performance: Ideal for low and medium temperature refrigeration systems.
• Eco-Friendly: Zero ODP, compliant with global environmental protocols.
• High Stability: Excellent thermodynamic behavior under varying loads.
• Widely Accepted: Standard replacement for CFC/HCFC blends like R-502.
• High Purity: ≥ 99.9% purity with moisture-free filling.
• A1 Safety Class: Non-flammable and low toxicity.

Applications

• Supermarket refrigerated display cases
• Walk-in freezers & cold rooms
• Refrigerated trucks & transport refrigeration
