Chemours Refrigerant 124 30 R124 Hcfc 30 Lb Cylinder

Product Description

The CHEMOURS refrigerant 124 30# is an HCFC refrigerant supplied in a 30-pound cylinder, used primarily as a retrofit replacement for R114 in select applications. R124 belongs to the HCFC refrigerant class and carries a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 609. This refrigerant is classified as a hazmat material, requiring compliant handling, transport, and storage procedures. Installation and service must be performed by EPA Section 608-certified technicians using certified recovery equipment. R124 is suited for large commercial cooling systems, particularly centrifugal chillers, where R114 has historically been the operating refrigerant.

R124 sees its primary use in centrifugal chillers and high ambient cooling environments, including overhead crane cooling systems. When used as a retrofit for R114, engineers and technicians should be aware that significantly higher cooling capacity may result from the conversion. This capacity increase can place additional load on existing system components, potentially requiring mechanical and controls modifications before the system is returned to service. Always consult the original equipment manufacturer for retrofit-specific direction before charging any system with R124.

Key Features

• HCFC refrigerant classified as R124, suitable for R114 retrofit applications
• GWP of 609 — relevant for regulatory compliance and environmental reporting
• Supplied in a 30-pound cylinder for bulk service use
• Commonly applied in centrifugal chillers and high ambient cooling installations such as overhead crane systems
• Hazmat-rated product requiring certified handling and EPA Section 608-compliant recovery
• OEM consultation recommended prior to retrofit use due to potential capacity increases requiring system engineering review

Compatibility

R124 is used as an HCFC retrofit refrigerant for R114 in select centrifugal chiller and high ambient cooling applications. Consult the OEM for specific compatibility guidance before retrofitting any existing system with R124, as cooling capacity changes may require engineering modifications.

Installation Notes

Service and handling of R124 must be performed by EPA Section 608-certified refrigeration technicians using approved recovery and charging equipment. This product is classified as hazmat and is subject to federal transport and storage regulations. Shut down and lock out the chiller system fully before any refrigerant recovery or charging work begins. Do not use R124 as a drop-in replacement without first reviewing system capacity limits and obtaining OEM approval for the retrofit.
