Propane For Refrigerant
Product Overview
This specification details our high-purity Propane for refrigerant use, commercially designated as R290. It is a natural, hydrocarbon-based refrigerant gaining significant prominence in modern, eco-conscious cooling technologies. Engineered for efficiency and sustainability, this product is intended for use in specifically designed commercial refrigeration systems, heat pumps, and other approved cooling appliances, offering a superior alternative to synthetic refrigerants.
Product Features, Characteristics & Advantages
- Outstanding Environmental Credentials: Boasts a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of ~3 and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), making it a cornerstone for low-carbon refrigeration solutions.
- Superior Thermodynamic Performance: Exhibits excellent heat transfer properties and volumetric capacity, leading to higher system energy efficiency and potential compressor downsizing.
- Future-Proof Compliance: Aligns with stringent global environmental regulations (F-Gas, Kigali Amendment), ensuring long-term viability for new equipment designs.
- Safety Classification: Classified as A3 (flammable). Its successful application as a refrigerant mandates professional handling, adherence to strict charge size limits (per safety standards like IEC 60335-2-89), and equipment engineered with inherent safety mechanisms.
Key Physical Properties & Chemical Specifications
Physical State: Colorless, odorless gas compressed into a liquid state within cylinders. An odorant is not added to maintain system purity.
Critical Physical Data:
| Boiling Point | -42.1°C (-43.8°F) at atmospheric pressure. |
| Critical Temperature | 96.7°C (206.1°F). |
| Auto-Ignition Temperature | Approximately 470°C (878°F). |
Chemical Identity:
| Chemical Name | Propane |
| Molecular Formula | C₃H₈ |
| ASHRAE Designation | R290 |
This Propane for refrigerant applications is distinguished by its ultra-high purity grade (>99.5%), minimizing moisture and impurities to ensure optimal system longevity and performance.
Product Packaging & Safety
Supplied in secure, dedicated packaging for professional use only:
- Specialized Cylinders: Available in 5kg, 11kg, and 25kg refillable, red-colored cylinders. Each cylinder is fitted with a left-handed thread (CGA 510) valve to prevent accidental cross-connection with non-flammable gases.
- Integrity Assurance: Cylinders are hydrostatically tested and feature rupture discs as a safety measure. They are sealed under vacuum to guarantee purity.
- Regulatory Labeling: Packaging includes prominent flammable gas labels, hazard pictograms, and detailed handling instructions compliant with transport regulations (e.g., DOT, ADR).
- Traceability: Each batch is accompanied by a certificate of analysis confirming composition and purity, ensuring it meets the exacting standards required for use as a refrigerant.
After-Sales Service & Technical Commitment
Our support extends beyond delivery to ensure safe and effective implementation:
- Quality Guarantee: Warranty covers the chemical purity and stability of the product, verifying its conformity to AHRTI-700 guidelines for refrigerant-grade propane.
- OEM & Contractor Support: We provide specialized technical documentation, including system design guides and safety case studies, to support manufacturers and certified technicians working with Propane for refrigerant systems.
- Safety-First Resources: Comprehensive access to Risk Assessment templates, installation best practice manuals, and emergency procedure guides tailored for R290.
- Professional Network: Assistance in connecting with equipment manufacturers and trained service providers who specialize in hydrocarbon refrigeration technology.
- Environmental Stewardship: We advocate for and provide protocols for the closed-loop recovery and reclamation of R290, emphasizing its role in a circular economy for refrigerants.
