Product Overview
R417A is a non-ozone-depleting HFC refrigerant blend, specifically formulated as a drop-in replacement for R22 in existing air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It is a colorless gas with a faint ethereal odor. R417A offers performance similar to R22 while eliminating the need for system modifications, making it a convenient choice for retrofitting R22 equipment.
R417A is valued for its ease of use in retrofit applications, as it does not require changing the lubricant from mineral oil to synthetic oil, which significantly simplifies the conversion process.
⚠️ Important Note: R417A has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 2340 (IPCC AR4) and is subject to phasedown regulations under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. Please check local regulations before purchase, especially in regions with active F-gas reduction policies. R417A is not recommended for new equipment design, but remains a practical retrofit solution for existing R22 systems.

Applications
R417A is widely used in:
· Retrofit replacement for R22 in existing air conditioning systems
· Retrofit replacement for R22 in commercial refrigeration equipment
· Heat pumps and chillers originally designed for R22
· Medium-temperature refrigeration systems
· Systems where a drop-in replacement is preferred over system modifications
ℹ️ Note: R417A is specifically formulated for retrofit applications, and it is compatible with both mineral oil and synthetic oil. This characteristic simplifies the conversion process, as the lubricant does not need to be replaced. For new equipment, we recommend consulting the manufacturer‘s guidelines to identify the most suitable refrigerant for the application.
