Forane® 427A |
| | Features | Advantages | Benefits |
Application Range | R-22 retrofit for high to low temp refrigeration and DX A/C systems | Product versatility reduces the need for multiple gases | Reduced refrigerant inventory More space on the van |
Properties & Performance | Similar efficiency to R-22 | Better efficiency than most other R-22 retrofits | Lower energy consumption than most other R-22 retrofits |
Similar capacity to R-22 | Small performance differences tolerable in most systems | Better high ambient performance than many other R-22 retrofits |
Lower discharge temperatures | May improve compressor reliabilty Reduced need for liquid injection | May improve low temp. system performance |
Closely matched operating characteristics | No equipment changes No head pressure problems Minimal system adjustments | Less costly and easier to use than many R-22 alternatives |
Oil Return | Tolerates high levels of residual original oil (up to 15 %) | POE recommended Works with MO or AB in many systems equiped with an Oil Separator | One POE oil change ensures optimal performance - Repeat flushes are not required |
Environment | GWP of 1830* (*from 4th IPCC assessment) | Lower GWP than most R-22 retrofit refrigerants | No ODP, Lower GWP, and better efficiency = Less Environmental Impact |
