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)
