R-438A Refrigerant (BULK)

Product Description

R438A refrigerant is a hydrofluorocarbon blend developed as a retrofit replacement for R22 in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Often referred to in the HVAC industry as a drop in alternative for many R22 applications, R438A allows existing systems to continue operating while reducing dependence on phased out refrigerants. The formulation supports stable cooling performance and is commonly used in residential, commercial, and light refrigeration equipment.

• HFC refrigerant blend designed as a replacement for R22
• Suitable for retrofit applications in many HVAC systems
• Maintains cooling performance in existing equipment
• Compatible with mineral oil and alkylbenzene lubricants in many systems
• Used in air conditioning and refrigeration service applications

Product Highlights

R438A refrigerant is frequently used by HVAC technicians when servicing legacy R22 systems. The blend is formulated to allow continued operation with minimal system modification in many cases. It is applied across residential air conditioning units, commercial cooling equipment, and refrigeration systems that require a practical R22 replacement.
