If you haven’t considered replacing R-22 in your supermarket refrigeration system yet, time is running out. Supplies of R-22 are set to be reduced every year until 2020 when R-22 will no longer be available. Review Honeywell’s non-ozone-depleting alternatives to determine which R-22 replacement is right for you.
| Product Name | ASHRAE # | Product Description |
|---|---|---|
| Genetron Performax® LT | R-407F | A long-term, non-ozone depleting replacement for R-22 suitable for medium and low temperature applications. Since Genetron Performax® LT is a close match to R-22, it also serves as a retrofit fluid in refrigeration applications where R-22 is used. |
| Genetron® 407C | R-407C | A long-term, non-ozone depleting replacement for R-22 in various air-conditioning applications as well as in positive displacement refrigeration systems. For new equipment and retrofits. Not recommended for use in chillers with a flooded evaporator. |
| Genetron® 404A | R-404A | A long-term non-ozone depleting replacement for R-502 and R-22 in low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. |
| Genetron® AZ-50® | R-507 | A non-ozone depleting azeotropic mixture of R-125 and R-143a. It has been primarily designed to replace R-502 in low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration applications such as supermarket display cases and ice machines. For new equipment and retrofits. R-507 is suitable as a replacement for R-22 in flooded refrigeration systems. |
| Genetron® 422D | R-422D | A long-term non-ozone depleting replacement for HCFC in low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems and as retrofit solution in air conditioning installations. Suitable for direct expansion evaporators. Do not use in systems that employ flooded evaporators. For new equipment and retrofits. |
| Genetron® 245fa | R-245fa | A non-ozone depleting candidate replacement for R-11 in centrifugal chillers. For new equipment. |
| Genetron® 134a | R-134a | Replaces R-12 in auto air conditioning and in residential, commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. For new equipment. |
| Genetron® 22 | R-22 | As a refrigerant, operates with higher system pressures but low compressor displacement. Popular in residential, commercial and industrial applications. |
| Genetron® 23 | R-23 | A specialty low temperature refrigerant that may be used to replace R-13 and R-503 in the low stage of cascade systems. For new equipment and retrofits. |
| Genetron® MP39 | R-401A | An interim replacement for R-12 in medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. For medium temperature retrofits. |
| Genetron® MP66 | R-401B | An interim replacement for R-12 in low-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. Transport refrigeration, low temperature retrofits, retrofits including air conditioners and dehumidifiers. |
| Genetron® HP80 | R-402A | An interim replacement for retrofitting low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. For low- and medium-temperature retrofits. |
| Genetron® HP81 | R-402B | An interim replacement for R-502 used mainly for ice machines and soft ice cream machines. |
| Genetron® 408A | R-408A | An interim replacement for retrofitting low-and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. |
| Genetron® 409A | R-409A | An interim replacement for R-12 in refrigeration systems. For low- and medium-temperature retrofits. |
| 508B | R-508B | A non-ozone depleting azeotrope of R-23 and FC-116 used to replace R-13 and R-503 in the low stage of cascade systems. New equipment and retrofits. |
