R410A Season Refrigerant Gas 650g
R410A refrigerant gas combines R32 and R125 freon, forming an almost azeotropic blend. This mixture has a very low glide temperature and nearly resists separation. For air conditioning applications, it operates at 60% higher pressure than [R22 refrigerant gas]. Therefore, it requires equipment specifically designed for this higher pressure. Systems for R410A also use smaller components than those used for R22, yet they achieve the same cooling performance. Manufacturers store R410a Refrigerant Gas in pink cylinders.
What is a Refrigerant Gas?
A refrigerant, either gas or liquid, cools specific environments, like refrigerators, freezers, or homes. Known as “coolant” or “refrigerant,” these substances play a vital role in cooling cycles by absorbing heat and releasing it outside. In fact, refrigerants use a process called “phase transition.” This process lets the substance change from liquid to gas and then back again. This unique quality makes refrigerants essential in devices like air conditioners, freezers, coolers, and refrigerators. By the “phase transition” principle, refrigerants transfer heat to change states. For example, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat to become gas, while the gas releases heat to turn back into liquid. This quality makes refrigerants highly valuable for cooling.
Types of Refrigerant Gas
The chemical structure of refrigerant gases determines their categories. We can group them into four main types:
- CFCs – Chlorofluorocarbons
- HCFCs – Hydrochlorofluorocarbons
- HFCs – Hydrofluorocarbons
- Natural Gases
Natural refrigerants include hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide. In contrast, synthetic refrigerants include gases like chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons, among others.
