R407C Refrigerant: An Overview

Al Imran provides all of the primary types of refrigerants used in bus HVAC systems (R134a and R407C) and chooses the refrigerant dependent on the application. We recommend R407C for all-electric applications because it gives the most efficient outcomes, especially in hermetically sealed systems.

Since R407C operates at a greater pressure than R134a, it has a higher Coefficient of Performance in securely sealed systems. HVAC equipment is intended to perform efficiently with higher pressure refrigerants and has done so for more than ten years with R407C.

The Cost of R407C

The cost of R134a vs R407C is equivalent, with no major cost difference between the two. To preserve optimal operational efficiency. Refrigerant distribution units containing R407C can have refrigerant injected in the event of a leak.

To demonstrate this point, the refrigerant suppliers, WESTRON , allowed a system to leak 50% of its charge in vapor form before simply topping it off. They repeated this operation five times, which is an extreme circumstance, but after the fifth recharge, the system was evaluated and found to have lost just around 9% of its initial capacity.

Environmental Impact of R407C

It possesses thermos physical characteristics that are quite comparable to those of R-22. If you decide to go from R-22 to R407C, your refrigeration system should only require minor modifications. If you’ve been using R-22 for a while, you’ll notice that the components used in R-22 and R407C are nearly identical.

As the qualities and performance demonstrated, it is less hazardous to the environment than R22. R407C has the same global warming potential as R-22, but it has zero ozone depletion potential, which is one of the most critical considerations.
