Forane® 407C is a blend of three HFC refrigerants that works just like R-22 in your air conditioning systems, but without damaging the ozone layer. You can use it for new or existing R-22 systems, such as residential and commercial air conditioners and non-flooded evaporator chillers. Just remember to change to POE oil when you switch to Forane® 407C, because it does not get along with mineral oil. Also, be aware that Forane® 407C has a high glide, which could affect its performance in flooded evaporators.
