Summary
R290 (Propane) is refrigerant grade propane, used as an alternative to R22 and R502 in low, medium and high temperature refrigeration and air conditioning applications. R290 (Propane) is a Hydrocarbon and although highly flammable it is an efficient refrigerant that has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
Product Features & Benefits
- Refrigerant can be charged from either the liquid and vapour phase
- A‑Gas refrigerant cylinders have dual port valves, making liquid offtake easier
- Flammable and non-toxic with a safety classification of A3
- Compressors can be charged with a variety of oils, contact the compressor manufacturer for more information
- Low GWP of 3
- Excellent thermodynamic properties leading to high energy efficiency
- Low charges allow for smaller heat exchanges and piping dimensions
- Due to its flammable nature R290 (Propane) requires different charging and recovery procedures
- Available in 370 gram disposable can (dont forget the can tap adaptor (M016)
- Please note: You will also need a left handed thread cylinder adaptor (M015) for the A-GAS 6 & 11Kg returnable cylinders . Standard cylinder adaptors are NOT suitable.
