R-448A (N40) 25 Lbs Refrigerant Virgin New Factory Sealed Gas

Step away from high-GWP HFCs and upgrade your systems with R-448A (N40) 25 Lbs Refrigerant. This 100% virgin, factory-sealed gas is the industry-standard ASHRAE A1 non-flammable HFO blend specifically engineered as a high-performance R-404A replacement and R-22 retrofit solution. As a veteran-preferred choice for commercial refrigeration, Solstice N40 delivers a 68% reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP) while maintaining the thermodynamic properties required for low and medium-temperature applications. Reach peak system efficiency with 5-10% better energy performance than R-404A and improved cooling capacity. Designed for supermarket rack systems, reach-ins, and cold storage, this zeotropic blend requires liquid charging and is fully compatible with synthetic POE oil. Ensure your fleet is equipped with this non-ozone-depleting HFO/HFC mix to meet modern environmental compliance without sacrificing compressor discharge temperatures or system reliability.

• Direct Retrofit Capability: Seamlessly replaces R-404A, R-507, and R-22 in existing DX systems with minimal component changes.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Delivers 5-15% lower energy consumption and up to 7.5% increased capacity compared to legacy refrigerants.
• Lower Discharge Temperatures: Reduces stress on compressors in low-temp applications, extending the life of the mechanical assembly.
• Environmental Compliance: Features a GWP of 1273, significantly below the thresholds of the Montreal Protocol and current F-gas regulations.
• Proven Performance: 100% virgin gas manufactured by high-tier producers with decades of refrigeration expertise.

• What oil must be used with R-448A? This refrigerant is only compatible with synthetic polyolester (POE) lubricants. Existing mineral oil or alkylbenzene must be flushed to acceptable residual levels.
• Can I top off an R-404A system with R-448A? No. Mixing refrigerants is never recommended as it alters the pressure-temperature relationship. A full recovery and retrofit are required.
• Is R-448A flammable? No, it has an ASHRAE A1 safety classification, meaning it is non-flammable and safe for use in commercial supermarket and convenience store environments.
• Does this require a specific charging method? Yes, because it is a zeotropic blend with temperature glide, it must be charged from the cylinder in the liquid phase to ensure the correct chemical composition.
