RS Refrigerants
The "RS" series of refrigerants are non ozone depleting drop-in replacements for CFCs and HCFCs. These versatile new refrigerants can be used with existing traditional lubricants, such as mineral and alkylbenzene oils, therby making the switch away from Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) to non ozone depleting alternatives straightforward and low cost.
The "RS" range currently contains the following refrigerants:
- RS-24 (R426A): zero ODP drop-in replacement for R12.
- RS-44 (R424A): zero ODP drop-in replacement for R22 and particularly suited to air conditioning applications.
- RS-45 (R434A): replacement for R22 in OEM & retrofit applications.
- RS-52 (R428A): replacement for R502, R22 at low temperatures & ozone depleting interim blends.
These new products aim to enable users of ODS to change out their systems to non ozone depleting replacements with minimum inconvenience and cost while not losing out on performance across the range of applications that are common in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries.
