Solstice® HFO Blends

Solstice® L40X - (R-455A)

Solstice® L40X (R-455A) is a mildly flammable, zeotropic blend designed to serve as an alternative for low-, medium- and high-temperature applications in new systems. It has a low global-warming-potential (GWP) of only 145.

Overview
Solstice® L40X (R-455A) is a mildly flammable, zeotropic blend designed to serve as an alternative for low-, medium- and high-temperature applications in new systems. It has a low global-warming-potential (GWP) of only 145. In addition, it provides a close capacity match to R-404A, extended operating envelope when compared to propane or air-conditioning refrigerants, and high energy efficiency.

Solstice® L40X (R-455A) is an excellent refrigerant option for commercial refrigeration low-temperature applications such as plug-ins, condensing units, food service, water-loop systems and similar. Its low GWP, extended operating envelope, high efficiency, high critical temperature and low critical pressure makes it a potential match for other applications such as supermarkets, chillers, heat pumps, transport refrigeration, and others.

Solstice® L40X (R-455A) vs CO2
  • Solstice® L40X (R-455A) provides energy efficiency improvement over CO2 and reduce overall CO2 footprint (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions).
  •  In contrast to CO2 based systems, which demand specialized skills and capabilities, Solstice® L40X (R-455A) systems follow standard installation and maintenance practices, requiring no elite skillset and experience. 
  • Unlike CO2 refrigeration systems, Solstice® L40X (R-455A) has a lower CAPEX requirement. CO2 being a high-pressure refrigerant, its systems need entirely new equipment and costly components to withstand high pressure conditions.
