Uses of R407C From Air Conditioning to
Refrigeration
As the world becomes increasingly aware of the
impact of greenhouse gases on the environment,
industries are looking for more environmentally
friendly solutions. One such solution is the
refrigerant R407C. While it has been in use for
over two decades, it has recently gained
popularity as a replacement for the widely-used
R22. In this blog post, we will explore the many
uses of R407C, from air conditioning to
refrigeration. What is R407C? R407C is a
hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant developed to
replace the ozone-depleting R22. It is a blend
of three HFCs difluoromethane (R32),
pentafluoroethane (R125), and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluorom
ethane (R134a). R407C has zero ozone depletion
potential (ODP), and a low global warming
potential (GWP) compared to R22.

  • What is R407C Used for?
  • Air Conditioning
  • R407C has been widely used as a refrigerant in
    air conditioning systems. It is particularly
    popular in Europe, where it has replaced R22 in
    new air conditioning systems. R407C has a higher
    cooling capacity and energy efficiency than R22,
    making it a popular choice in commercial and
    residential air conditioning.
  • Refrigeration
  • R407C is also used in various refrigeration
    systems. It is commonly used in commercial
    refrigeration, such as in supermarkets, where it
    is used in refrigerated display cases and walk-in
    coolers. R407C has a lower discharge temperature
    than R22, which helps extend the compressor's
    life and reduce energy consumption.
  • Heat Pumps
  • They are becoming increasingly popular as a more
    energy-efficient way to heat homes and
    buildings. R407C is commonly used as a
    refrigerant in heat pump systems. It has a higher
    heating capacity than R22, making it a more
    efficient choice for heating in colder climates.
  • Chillers
  • R407C is also used in chiller systems used in
    commercial and industrial applications to cool
    water for air conditioning and process cooling.
    R407C has a higher cooling capacity compared to
    R22, which makes it a popular choice for larger
    cooling systems.
  • Is R407C Banned?
  • Certain refrigerants have been scrutinised in
    recent years due to their potential impact on the
    environment. One refrigerant that has been
    subject to this scrutiny is R407C, which is
    commonly used in air conditioning and
    refrigeration systems. In this blog post, we will
    explore whether R407C is banned and the reasons
    behind the possible ban.
  • Possible Ban on R407C
  • The European Union (EU) has been at the forefront
    of phasing out certain refrigerants due to their
    high GWP. In 2014, the EU banned using R22 in new
    air conditioning systems and refrigeration
    equipment. While R407C is not currently banned in
    the EU, it has been identified as a refrigerant
    with a high GWP, which may lead to a possible ban
    in the future.

100-year time horizon. It has led to concerns
about its potential environmental and climate
change impact. Alternatives to R407C As the
phase-out of certain refrigerants continues,
there is an increasing need for alternatives to
R407C. One such alternative is R32, which has a
lower GWP than R407C. However, R32 is a
flammable gas, which presents safety concerns.
Other alternatives include natural refrigerants
with zero or very low GWP, such as ammonia and
carbon dioxide. Conclusion R407C has become
popular for various applications, from air
conditioning to refrigeration. Its low
environmental impact and high energy efficiency
make it an ideal replacement for R22 in many
applications. As the world continues to focus on
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, R407C will
likely become an even more popular choice. R407C
is not currently banned, but it has been
identified as a refrigerant with a high GWP,
which may lead to a possible ban in the future.
As the world continues to focus on reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, there will likely be a
greater shift towards environmentally friendly
alternatives to R407C.
