A longterm nonozone depleting replacement for R502 and R22 in lowand mediumtemperature commerical refrigeration systems.
R404A is made up of the components HFC125,HFC143a and HFC134a.The stability of R404A can be characterized based on the stability of its refrigerant components,in this case,by the known stability of R134a.
Retrofit:R-404A can be used to retrofit many existing R502 systems. The physical and thermodynamic properties of the blend cause it to behave much like R502 when used as a retrofit but it is not intended to be a direct “dropin” for R502 systems. Due to higher operating pressures associated with the use of R404A as opposed to R502, OEM product specific retrofit recommendations should be consulted for any and all pressure relief modifications and/or requirements.
