R513A

R513A Air Conditioner RefrigerantR513A refrigerant is a modern refrigerant in the hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) group with a low global warming potential (GWP) and has been developed to replace the R-134a refrigerant.

Key Features and Benefits of R513A:

  • Composition: It is an azeotropic blend composed of R-1234yf (HFO) and R-134a (HFC) in proportions of 56.0% and 44.0% by weight, respectively, with a zero temperature glide.
  • Low GWP: It has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of approximately 573 (according to AR5), which is about 56% lower compared to R-134a (GWP 1,300)
  • Ozone-friendly: It has an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero.
  • Safety: Classified as A1 (non-flammable and low toxicity) according to ASHRAE standards.
  • Performance: Provides cooling capacity and energy efficiency (COP) similar to or equivalent to R-134a.
  • Applications:
    • Suitable for new system installations. o Can be easily used as a retrofit for existing R-134a systems, especially in commercial and medium-temperature industrial refrigeration systems, water chillers, air conditioning systems, and heat pumps.
  • Compressor oil: Compatible with POE (Polyol Ester) synthetic lubricants, which are the same type used.
