Freon™ MO99™

R-438A

A12264 (2059)

MO, AB, POE

Great choice in systems where changing to POE oil is not practical, elastomericseals require replacement.

Freon™ NU-22B™

R-422B

A12525 (2289)

MO, AB, POE

Great choice in systems where changing to POE oil is not practical, elastomericseals require replacement.

Freon™ 407C

R-407C

A11774 (1624)

POE

Closest performance match to R-22 in A/C applications Retrofits require alubricant change to POE oil and replacement of critical elastomeric seals.

Opteon™ XP40

R-449AA11397 (1282)

POE

Lowest GWP retrofit refrigerant for R-22 designed systems. R-22 to Opteon™
XP40 retrofits will require replacement of critical elastomeric seals and alubricant change to POE oil.

Opteon™ XP40

R-449A

A1

1397 (1282)

POE

Lowest GWP retrofit refrigerant for R-404A/R-507 designed systems.
R-404A/R-507 to Opteon™ XP40 retrofits require adjustment of the TXVs andin most cases it is suggested to replace the R-404A power element to a R-449A
power element. Consult compressor manufacturer guidelines for necessity ofdemand cooling in low temperature applications.

Opteon™ XP44R-452A

A12140 (1945)

POE

Discharge temperature and mass flow match to R-404A/R-507. Best used insituations where liquid injection cannot be installed on the low temperaturecompressor. Check SNAP approvals before use in USA.

R-134a Replacement
for AC, Refrigeration

Opteon™ XP10R-513A

A1631 (573)

POELowest GWP retrofit refrigerant for R-134a designed systems. Elastomericseals replacement or lubricant change not required. Minor adjustments to TXVpost retrofit might be necessary.

R-123 Replacement

Opteon™ XP30

Compared To

LT=Low Temperature, MT=Medium Temperature, AC=Air Conditioning, MO=Mineral Oil, AB=Alkylbenzene, POE=Polyol Ester, GWP=Global Warming Potential, Freon™ NU-22B™ is not available in Canada.
Application Conditions: LT=Low Temperature; -22 °F avg evaporator, 104 °F avg condenser, 14 °F return gas T, 97 °F subcool T • MT=Medium Temperature; 20 °F avg evaporator, 105 °F avg condenser, 40 °F return gas T, 95 °F subcool T • HT=High Temperature (A/C);
45°F avg evaporator, 115 °F avg condenser, 65 °F return gas T, 100 °F subcool T Performance data is based on theoretical calculations at typical application conditions. Actual performance will vary depending on system design and conditions. Always consult the detailed
retrofit guidelines prior to use. More detailed information on refrigerants including the retrofit guidelines, case histories, regulations and thermodynamic properties are available at www.freon.com and www.opteon.com
