Refrigerant R124

Freon™ 124 (R-124) refrigerant is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) retrofit replacement for R-114 used in centrifugal chillers and high-ambient cooling applications, including overhead cranes.

• R-114 Replacement: Primarily used in commercial HVAC, specifically centrifugal chillers that previously used R-114.
• High-Ambient Cooling: Ideal for high-temperature air conditioning applications, including specialized industrial cooling systems and overhead crane air conditioning.
• Fire Suppression: Utilized as a fire extinguishing agent, often acting as a replacement for harmful bromochlorocarbons.
• Refrigerant Blends: Serves as a component in various refrigerant blends.

Used with alkylbenzene (AB) lubricants, general applications for Freon™ 124 include extending the life of R-114 chillers and retrofitting R-114 in certain types of positive displacement equipment.
