R-23: the refrigerant for ultra-low temperatures

R-23 is a non-ozone-depleting azeotropic HFC refrigerant used in refrigeration systems operating at ultra-low temperatures (from -60°C to -100°C). It is suitable for both new systems and as a retrofit replacement in legacy systems operating with HCFC R-13 and R-503. R-23 is used exclusively in cascade systems, with evaporation temperatures between -60°C and -100°C and condensation temperatures between -10°C and -40°C. Its thermodynamic properties closely resemble those of R-13.

Applications:

• Industrial cooling systems
• Pharmaceutical production plants
• Medical use (e.g. blood banks)
• Material testing
• Cryomats and cryostats
• High vacuum

Regarding the refrigerant charge, the same parameters used for the replaced products (HCFC R-13 and R-503) can be applied, provided the expansion vessel is replaced with a larger one. The optimal refrigerant charge is between -10% and -20% compared to that of R-13 and R-503. Thanks to its azeotropic nature, it can be topped up directly in the event of refrigerant leaks from the system. The cooling capacity of R-23 is higher than that of R-13 and lower than that of R-503. In terms of energy efficiency, it is equivalent to R-13 and approximately 10% lower than R-503. Due to its very high GWP value, R-23 will be subject to significant restrictions as a result of the progressive implementation of European F-Gas Regulation No. 517/2014.

Lubricants:

R-23 is compatible with POE synthetic lubricants.
