    R-404A is a ternary mixture of HFC refrigerants that can be used as a replacement for R-502 in low and medium temperature refrigeration systems. It has similar thermodynamic properties to R-502 but is less toxic and does not damage the ozone layer. R-404A requires the use of polyolester oil as a lubricant and some system modifications when converting from R-502 such as changing the filter drier and expansion valve. It has a low glide temperature, is non-flammable, and poses very low toxicity risk even with prolonged exposure.

    R-404A
    Features and uses of R-404A
    R404A is a ternary mixture consisting of R-125, R-143a and R-134a. Their thermodynamic characteristics
    constitute as ideal replacement for R-502 for refrigeration sector in new facilities at low and medium
    temperatures. R-404A is characterized by a remarkable chemical stability and low glide temperature 0.7 ° C.
    Its classification is A1 group L1.

    Its main application is in new facilities for low and medium temperatures.

    There is also the possibility of converting an installation of R-502 to R-404A, removing 95% of mineral oil or
    original alkyl benzene, by polyolester oil. It is needed to change the filter drier (molecular sieve
    recommended XH9 and XH7), the expansion valve by one of R-404A, and over sizing the condenser.

    R-404A is a mixture of HFC refrigerants, which are not compatible with traditional lubricants working with
    R-502. The only lubricant suitable to use with R404A is polyolester oil (POE).

    Toxicity and storage:


    Toxicity of R-404A is very low even with long exposure time. AEL (Allowable Exposure Limit) is 1000 ppm (8-
    hour TWA). R-404A containers should be stored in a cool and ventilated area away from heat sources.
    Vapors, in case of leakage tend to accumulate at ground level.

    Security
    R-404A is not toxic, not flammable, high security.
    It has been classified as A1 / group L1.
