Detailed information R404A
Information Document
R404A is a refrigerant gas mixture created by combining three different HFC gases – R125, R143a, and R134a – in specific proportions. For many years, it has become a standard in the commercial and industrial refrigeration sector and has been widely used, particularly in low and medium-temperature range applications.
R404A offers high cooling capacity for supermarket cabinets, industrial cold storage rooms, freezers, blast chillers, food preservation equipment, refrigeration cabinets, and two-phase chiller and VRF systems. Since its ozone depletion potential is 0 (ODP 0), it is much safer environmentally compared to older generation gases like R22. However, due to its high GWP value (≈3922), it is subject to certain restrictions under F-Gas regulations. Therefore, while the transition to low GWP alternatives is becoming widespread in new installations, R404A continues to be used in existing systems depending on technical requirements.
Since R404A is a zeotropic mixture, its components behave at different rates during evaporation and condensation processes. For this reason, gas filling, transfer, and recovery should only be performed by authorized and trained technicians. Improper interventions can reduce system performance or damage equipment.
