R449A Refrigerant Transport Refrigeration Cylinder 10kg £449.00

R449A is an advanced HFO/HFC blend refrigerant engineered as a high-performance alternative to R404A and R507 in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. Delivering approximately 65% lower global warming potential (GWP ~1397) with zero ozone depletion potential, it offers an environmentally conscious solution compliant with F-gas regulations.

Supplied in a refillable 10 kg cylinder featuring a standard 1/4" connection, this A1 safety-classified, non-flammable refrigerant is compatible with POE oil for streamlined retrofits in transport refrigeration, cold storage, and supermarket display systems.

Compatibility

R449A as a retrofit solution for R404A and R507 systems

R449A is designed for use in existing systems that were operated with R404A or R507. Since it is compatible with POE oil, a complete oil change is unnecessary in many cases. Before any retrofit, a professional inspection of the system is required to ensure that compressors, expansion valves, and seals are suitable for operation with R449A.

Compatibility concerns the refrigerant as well as the components used. Connections, hoses, and safety valves must be checked for suitability. Some system manufacturers provide explicit approvals for R449A – the manufacturer documentation must be checked before the retrofit. Only refrigerant that complies with the EN 378 and ISO 817 standards is to be used.

Ingredients

R32 (Difluoromethane), R125 (Pentafluoroethane), R1234yf (2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene), R134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane).

Frequently asked questions

What is R449A refrigerant used for?

R449A (Opteon™ XP40) is a 4-component HFO/HFC blend designed as an eco-friendly replacement for R404A and R507 in medium- and low-temperature commercial and industrial refrigeration, including supermarket display cases, cold rooms, and transport refrigeration.

Can R449A directly replace R404A in existing systems?

R449A is compatible with POE oil, often eliminating the need for a complete oil flush during retrofits. However, compressors, expansion valves, and seals must be verified by a qualified technician for R449A compatibility.

What is the environmental profile of R449A?

R449A has a GWP of approximately 1397, representing a 65% reduction compared to R404A, and features an ODP of 0 for zero ozone depletion.

How should R449A refrigerant cylinders be stored?

Store the cylinder upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, combustible materials, and temperatures exceeding 50 °C, ensuring the bottle is secured against tipping.
