407C Refrigerant 11kg

R-407C (HFC blend: R-32 / R-125 / R-134a)

Brief introduction

R-407C is a zeotropic mixture of the hydrofluorocarbons R-32, R-125 and R-134a, developed as an ozone-friendly replacement for R-22. It has ODP = 0 and thermodynamic properties similar to R-22, but with a lower environmental impact ( en.wikipedia.org ).

Areas of application

• Air conditioning, heat pumps and medium temperature refrigeration – used in both new installations and retrofit of older R-22 systems ( nationalref.com ).

• Commercial and residential systems – suitable for direct expansion systems in residential and light commercial installations (

Benefits

• Ozone-free (ODP = 0) – does not contain chlorine and does not contribute to ozone depletion (

• Performance close to R-22 – very similar cooling and efficiency data, with the possibility of easy conversion to POE oil (

• Safety – classified as A1 (non-flammable, low toxicity)

Environment and regulation

• GWP : approximately 1,774 (100-year time horizon) – lower than R-22 (~1,960), but still high ( en.wikipedia.org ).

• Regulatory status : Subject to global HFC phase-out (Kigali Agreement). Ban on use in many new installations to take effect in several markets from 2025–2028 ( en.wikipedia.org ).

Brief summary

R-407C (GWP ≈ 1,774) is a safe, ozone-friendly HFC blend that delivers performance close to R-22 and is well suited for both new installations and retrofits of older systems. It is ODP-free, safe (A1), and requires only minor adaptations when converting from R-22. However, it has a high GWP and is subject to international phase-out.
