Opteon ® XP10: the low GWP replacement for R-134a in commercial and industrial refrigeration
Opteon ® XP10 is a hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) based refrigerant, with similar properties and performance to R-134a and with a Global Warming Potential – GWP significantly lower than the GWP of R-134a (approximately 55 % in less).
Opteon ® XP10 is a non-flammable and non-toxic gas , and has been approved and adopted by major refrigeration equipment manufacturers ; it is suitable for new plants, but also for those already in use, operating with R-134a, through retrofits that are quick, simple and economical.
Opteon ® XP10 is miscible with POE lubricants.
Applications:
Opteon ® XP10 is used in direct expansion volumetric industrial and commercial plants , operating at medium temperatures.
It can also be used optimally in centrifugal water coolers (chillers) and in medium temperature circuits of hybrid cascade systems, with second stage operating on CO 2 .
Performance:
- Opteon ® XP10 is azeotropic, so it has a Glide value of zero
- Opteon ® XP10 offers performance and energy efficiency equivalent to R-134a.
- Opteon ® XP10 has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 572, significantly lower than that of R-134a.
- It does not require the replacement of components, lubricants and seals.
- Opteon ® XP10 is non-flammable (ASHRAE Class – A1)
