HYDROCARBON as green gas for Air Conditioner Refrigerant

What is Hydrocarbon (HC) Refrigerant Gas?

Hydrocarbon Referigerant Gas which also known as Environmently Friendly Refrigerant is designed to direct replace the ozone-depleting and global-warming refrigerants which are HCFC, CFC and HFC refrigerant gas. Hydrcarbon Refrigerant Products are made of natural, organic compounds. This product is not a blend of pre-existing, chemically based synthetic refrigerants. By replacing to this Hydrcarbon Refrigerant Product, it can saving up to 30% of power consumptions.

Hydrocarbon Refrigerant will improve the performance and the life expectancy of refrigeration equipment and air-conditioning systems. The molecule is lighter and make your system work less further reducing the demand of power.

(please refer to our previous post for further information on HCFC, CFC as well as HFC)

Why Hydrocarbon Refrigerant?

Application: Chiller, Water Cooled Packaged Unit, Air Cooled Packaged Unit, Ceiling Cassette Unit, Ceiling mounted Air Conditioner, Domestic Air Conditioner, Mobile Air Conditioner.

Compatibility:
Lubricants: Hydrcarbon refrigerants poses full chemical compatibility with nearly all lubricants commonly used within refrigeration systems which either Mineral Oil or Syntethic Oil.
Materials: Virtually all common elastomer and plastic refrigeration materials used as 'O' rings, valve seats, seals and gaskets are compatible with HC refrigerant gas.

Environment: 100% natural organic refrigerant, non-ozone depleting, non- global warming. Full compliance with the UN Montreal Protocol & Kyoto Protocol. ISO 14001 Applicable.

Type of refrigerants:
1) HC-12a: designed as a drop-in replacement for zone-depleting CFC R12 and global-warming HFC R134a refrigerant.
2) HC-22a: designed as a drop-in replacement for ozone-depleting HCFC R22 refrigerant.
3) HC-502a: designed as a drop-in replacement for ozone-depleting CFC R502 refrigerant.

Refrigerant that have the ozone-depleting potential (ODP) and global-warming potential (GWP)

CFC (chlorofluorocarbon)

CFC is a compound consisting of chlorine, fluorine and carbon. CFCs are very stable in the troposphere. They move to the stratosphere and are broken down by strong UV light, where they release chlorine atoms that then deplete the ozone layer. CFCs are commonly used as refrigerants, solvents, and foam blowing agents. The most common CFCs are CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114, and CFC-115. The ozone-depletion potential for each CFC is, respectively, 1, 1, 0.8, 1, and 0.6. 

HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon)

HCFC is a compound consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine and carbon. The HCFCs are one class of chemicals being used to replace the CFCs. They contain chlorine and thus deplete stratospheric ozone, but to a much lesser extent than CFCs. HCFCs have ozone-depletion potentials ranging from 0.01 to 0.1.

HFC (hydrofluorocarbon)

HFC is a compound consisting hydrogen, fluorine and carbon. The HFCs are a class of replacements for CFCs. Because they do not contain chlorine or bromine, they do not deplete the ozone layer. All HFCs have an ozone-depletion potential of zero. But some of its have high on global-warming potentials.

HC (hydrocarbon)

HC is a compound consisting of carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons include methane, ethane, propane, cyclopropane, butane, and cyclopentane. Although they are flammable, HCs may offer advantages as substitutes to ozone depleting substances because they have zero ozone-depletion potential, low toxicity, and with the exception of methane, have low global-warming potential.
