| Honeywell’s Genetron® 407C (a ternary blend of HFC-32/HFC125/HFC-134a, assigned R-407C by ASHRAE) serves as a nonozone-depleting replacement for HCFC-22 in various air-conditioning applications, as well as in most refrigeration systems. Since Genetron® 407C is a close match to HCFC-22, it also serves as a retrofit fluid in applications where HCFC-22 is generally used. Applications
Unitary Air Conditioning: Genetron® 407C can serve as a non-ozone-depleting replacement for HCFC-22 in residential and light commercial air-conditioning systems. It has a capacity comparable to HCFC-22 making it easier to use in existing equipment designs. Some equipment modifications will be required when retrofitting these systems to Genetron® 407C.
Chillers: Genetron® 407C can serve as a replacement for HCFC-22 in positive displacement chillers without flooded heat-exchangers. Because Genetron® 407C is a blend with a temperature glide, it is not recommended for use in chillers with a flooded evaporator.
Commercial Refrigeration: Genetron® 407C may be used to replace HCFC-22 in existing medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems, including supermarket display cases and reach-in coolers.
