Refrigerant Gas R-404A – 1000 Gram Canister The R-404A Refrigerant Gas is a high-performance HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) blend used primarily in low and medium temperature commercial refrigeration applications. Composed of R-125, R-143a, and R-134a, R-404A is a non-ozone-depleting alternative to older refrigerants such as R-502 and CFC-based gases. This 1000-gram canister is ideal for technicians and businesses requiring a reliable and efficient refrigerant for service and maintenance of refrigeration equipment. R-404A is known for its excellent cooling capacity, thermodynamic stability, and low glide, making it a trusted choice in the food storage, transportation, and supermarket industries. It’s compatible with polyolester (POE) lubricants and is typically used in systems that demand consistent and powerful refrigeration at sub-zero temperatures. Key Features Refrigerant Type: R-404A (blend of R-125, R-143a, R-134a) Weight: 1000 grams (1 kg) ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential): 0 GWP (Global Warming Potential): Approx. 3922 Lubricant Compatibility: Polyolester (POE) oils Cylinder Type: Non-refillable, sealed canister with valve Phase Type: Gas at room temperature, liquid under pressure Non-flammable and non-corrosive under normal handling conditions Color Code: Light blue cylinder (industry standard for R-404A) Applications Commercial freezers and refrigeration systems Supermarket display cabinets and cold storage units Ice machines and walk-in coolers Refrigerated trucks and transportation units Industrial refrigeration systems Advantages Excellent low-temperature performance and high cooling efficiency Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) – environmentally safer than older refrigerants Suitable replacement for R-502 and R-22 in retrofitted systems Maintains temperature stability in extreme refrigeration applications Widely supported and approved across global refrigeration equipment Safety & Handling Always handle in well-ventilated areas Use appropriate gauges and charging tools for HFC refrigerants Store in an upright position away from heat and sunlight Wear gloves and eye protection during installation Follow local environmental and disposal regulations Questions to Consider Is your refrigeration system originally designed for R-404A, or does it require retrofitting? Are you using the correct lubricant (POE oil) to ensure system compatibility and performance?
