R-449a Refrigerant

5 Lb.

This listing is for a 5 Lb. Tank Of Refrigerant R-449a that contains 8 oz. of UV Florescent Leak Detection Dye.

If you have a leak in a R449a system, charging the system with UV Dye will help you locate the refrigerant leak.

This 5 Lb. tank of R449a with 8 oz. of Leak Detection Dye, has the UV dye mixed in with the refrigerant and when recharging the system will circulate through-out the system and will present with a yellow fluorescent glow under a UV Black light or using a white rag to wipe suspected areas.

NOTE: Generally speaking, wherever there is a leak oil will be present as the oil travels through-out the system as does the UV dye that you add.

R-449A is a low global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO)-based refrigerant developed as a direct replacement for HCFC-22 (R-22) and R-404A/R-507 in positive displacement, direct expansion, low- and medium temperature commercial and industrial applications.

R449a can also be used as a replacement for “service” blends, such as HP80 (R-402A) and 408A.

Because R-402A and R-408A contain a significant percentage of R-22, these blends are subject to the same availability and cost constraints impacting pure R-22, which is being phased out under the Montreal Protocol.

R-402A and R-408A were designed and used as replacements for R-502 in low- and medium-temperature refrigeration systems in the early 1990s.

Most systems operating on R-402A and R-408A today are likely to be quite old, and system replacement with new equipment should always be considered as a first step.

R449a is a HFC/HFO blend of HFC-32/HFC-125/ HFC-134a/HFO-1234yf (24.3/24.7/25.7/25.3 wt%) with an ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34 refrigerant designation of R-449A.

It is commercially available around the world for both retrofit of existing (R-22, R-402A, R-408A, R-404A, R-507) equipment, as well as a suitable option for new equipment.

R449a offers the best overall balance of performance, cost, safety, and sustainability as a class A1 refrigerant with a GWP of 1282 and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP).

Using these retrofit guidelines, existing R-402A and R-408A direct expansion refrigeration systems can be converted to operate using R449a, allowing the equipment to continue to function safely and efficiently with a greatly reduced environmental impact.

R449a is safe to use when handled properly.

However, any refrigerant can cause injury or even death when mishandled.

Please review the following guidelines and consult the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS), including proper personal protective equipment recommendations, before using any refrigerant.

At a minimum, appropriate hand (gloves) and eye (safety glasses) protection should be used. •

Do not work in high concentrations of refrigerant vapors.

Always maintain adequate ventilation in the work area.

Do not breathe vapors.

Do not breathe lubricant mists from leaking systems.

Ventilate the area well after any leak before attempting to repair equipment. •

Do not use handheld leak detectors to check for breathable air in enclosed working spaces.

These detectors are not designed to determine if the air is safe to breathe.

Use oxygen monitors to ensure adequate oxygen is available to sustain life. •

Do not use flames or halide torches to search for leaks.

Open flames (e.g., halide or brazing torches) in the presence of any fluorocarbon refrigerant can decompose the refrigerant, forming hazardous acidic compounds.

Halide torches are not effective as leak detectors for HFO or HFC refrigerants, as they only detect the presence of chlorine in the refrigerant.

Chlorine is not present in R449a0, and, consequently, these detectors will not detect the presence of this refrigerant.

Use an electronic leak detector specifically designed for the refrigerants you are using.

If you detect a visible change in the size or color of a flame when using brazing torches to repair equipment, stop work immediately and leave the area.

Ventilate the work area well, and stop any refrigerant leaks before resuming work.

These flame effects may be an indication of very high refrigerant concentrations, and continuing to work without adequate ventilation may result in injury or death
