It was co-developed by Honeywell and Chemours and is known by the trade names Solstice 452 and Opteon XP44. R452A is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blend designed to deliver comparable performance to R404A while reducing environmental impact. Licensed HVAC-R technicians and refrigeration mechanics handling this refrigerant must follow all applicable EPA Section 608 handling and recovery requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR452A is primarily used in transport refrigeration systems and also sees application in direct expansion (DX) low to medium temperature commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. It serves as a retrofit or new-installation alternative where R404A has traditionally been specified. Technicians evaluating this refrigerant for system conversions should review OEM guidance on compressor oil compatibility and system operating pressures before service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLower GWP alternative to R404A, reducing environmental impact in applicable systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for transport refrigeration as a primary design refrigerant or retrofit option\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlso applicable in DX low to medium temperature refrigeration systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCo-developed by Honeywell and Chemours with broad industry backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarketed under the trade names Solstice 452 and Opteon XP44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a lower GWP replacement for R404A in transport refrigeration and DX low to medium temperature refrigeration systems.

Power down and lock out the system before opening any refrigerant circuits. Verify lubricant compatibility with the compressor manufacturer prior to charging, as oil requirements may differ from R404A systems. Do not mix refrigerants in a system or recovery cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: HFO blend, lower GWP alternative\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Transport refrigeration, DX low to medium temperature refrigeration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces\u003c\/strong\u003e: R404A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RACO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: R452A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RACO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51468518850866,"sku":"R452A","price":28.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313947263.png?v=1783916241","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/raco-r452a-refrigerant-lower-gwp-r404a-replacement","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
