VALUE R600A

R600a, or isobutane, is an eco-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant known for its zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and very low global warming potential (GWP) of 3. It is highly energy-efficient, but also flammable, requiring specialized handling and use in hermetically sealed, low-charge systems like domestic refrigerators. Key characteristics include a boiling point of -11.7°C, compatibility with standard lubricants, and superior heat transfer properties compared to some other refrigerants. .

Environmental Characteristics

Zero ODP: R600a does not damage the ozone layer.

Low GWP: Its global warming potential is extremely low (3), making it environmentally sound. .

Natural Refrigerant: It is a natural hydrocarbon with no negative impact on the environment in normal operation.

Packing:200g Cylinders.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

• Chemical Formula: C4H10.
• Boiling Point: 11.7°C at 1 atm.

Flammability: It is a flammable gas, classified under ASHRAE security level A3, necessitating careful handling and storage away from heat sources.

Toxicity:

It is non-toxic and odorless.
Lubricant Compatibility: R600a is compatible with conventional lubricants used in refrigeration systems.

Application:

It is widely used in domestic refrigerators, freezers, and small refrigeration systems, often replacing older refrigerants like R12 and R134a.
