AI Overview
) as a highly efficient primary refrigerant. Other common refrigerants in older or different-sized units include R404A and R507A.
Common Refrigerants by Application:
- Small/Medium Commercial Machines (e.g., True Ice Machines): R290 (Propane) is becoming the standard for efficiency and environmental compliance.
- Commercial Ice Machines (e.g., Ice-O-Matic): Historically used R404A or R507A for reliable, high-volume production.
- Industrial Ice Plants/Factories: Ammonia is preferred for large-scale operations due to superior cooling capacity.
- Alternatives: R507A is used as a drop-in replacement for R22 and R502.
Refrigerant Characteristics:
- R290 (Hydrocarbon): Considered "all-natural," it offers better heat transfer and lower energy consumption compared to HFCs.
- Ammonia: Highly efficient and used with secondary refrigerants like glycol in massive industrial plants.
- HFCs (R404A/R507A): Known for reliability, though being phased out in some regions for high GWP.
