Solstice® N40 (R448A): the most energy efficient, reduced GWP alternative to R-404A/R-507
Solstice® N40 is an hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) blend, with a significantly low GWP (reduction > 65% compared to R-404A), designed to replace R-404A/R-507 in positive displacement, direct expansion low and medium temperature commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment.
Solstice® N40 guarantees superior energy efficiency at low and medium temperature applications.
Solstice® N40 is suitable for new equipment as well as for quick and easy retrofit of existing systems operating with R-404A and R-507.
Solstice® N40 is safe, non-flammable (ASHRAE2) A1), extensively field tested and supported by major equipment and component manufacturers.
Solstice® N40 can be topped off after leaks and is miscible with POE lubricants.
Applications:
Solstice® N40 is suitable for LT and MT commercial and industrial DX refrigeration; centralized rack systems, distributed systems, walk-in coolers/freezers, preparation rooms, cold stores, plug-in cabinets, chilled vertical cabinets.
Solstice® N40 is suitable for new equipment and quick and easy retrofit of existing systems operating with R-404A / R507.
Performance:
Solstice® N40 guarantees improved performance and superior energy efficiency vs. R-404A and R-507.
In a variety of supermarket trial, Solstice® N40 demonstrated >3% lower energy consumption in LT and in some cases >8% lower energy consumption in MT applications, as
compared to R-404A.
Solstice® N40 is non ozone depleting and has a remarkable low GWP (Global Warming Potential) compared to “old” R-404A and R-507 (>65% reduction).
No equipment/lubricant/seal changes required.
Solstice® N40 is safe and nonflammable (Classe ASHRAE - A1).
Recommended Lubricants:
Solstice® N40 is miscible with POE lubricants.
KryoBox® Cylinders
KryoBox® cylinders are helpful every time a limited quantity of refrigerant charge is needed.
These cylinders are light and easy to handle compared to the traditional ones, therefore their transportation is much easier. KryoBox® cylinders are available in two formats, 6,4 liters and 13,6 liters; they are manufactured in full compliance with T-PED (Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive) and are packed in high-strength cardboard boxes in order to make their transport and storage on the shelf much easier.
KryoBox® cylinders R134a (AUTO) are provided with a special quick coupling automatic valve that prevents leaks that usually occur with plug valves; standard valve 1/4” with handwheel and safety device is also available for all refrigeration and residential air conditioning applications. In addition, KryoBox® R410A cylinders are supplied with an adapter with outlet 5/16" SAE.
We have always been sensitive to environmental issues; with the “F-Gas-Friend”, General Gas has implemented the F-Gas Directive by buying back the refillable KryoBox® Cylinders, cylinders, so that they are not wasted in the environment and can be regenerated and filled again.
Performance
KryoBox® cylinders are light but they are also sturdy thanks to the protection of high-strength cardboard. Cardboard boxes are provided with a special aperture that allows you to connect the charging hose to the outlet valve, without having to remove the cylinder from its cardboard box.
Even in upside down position, it is possible to mount the hose in such a way that it is easy to open the valve while taking the liquid gas phase.
KryoBox® cylinders are refillable; they can be regenerated and filled again. In that case a yellow label (F-Gas Friend) will be stuck on the cylinder.
