How to choose the type of refrigerant for the chiller | Oumalchiller.com

 The normal and safe operation of the chiller is inseparable from the refrigerant. It is the working medium that circulates in the chiller refrigeration system to achieve refrigeration. The commonly used refrigerant types for chillers are: R22, R407C, R404A, R410A, R134A, R507... Because R22 refrigerant is not environmentally friendly, most countries have now banned the use of R22. Therefore, for Omar chillers, high temperature The chiller uses R407C refrigerant, and the low-temperature chiller uses R404A. Of course, R134a, R410A, etc. can also be used according to user requirements. So, how to choose the appropriate refrigerant type for the chiller?

chiller refrigerant types

R22: Because R22 destroys the ozone layer, many countries have now banned the use of R22. Therefore, the chillers we export are generally R407C systems, unless customers require special requirements.

R407C: R407C is a mixture of R32 refrigerant and R125/refrigerant plus R134a refrigerant in a certain proportion. It is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that does not destroy the ozone layer. R407C has very similar characteristics and performance to R22, so it has become a long-term alternative to R22. At present, it is the most widely used refrigerant in the chiller system, which is environmentally friendly and economical. The chiller with R407C refrigerant is affordable.


R404A: As R404A belongs to the HFC type non-azeotropic environmentally friendly refrigerant (completely does not contain ozone-depleting CFC, HCFC), it is currently recognized and recommended by most countries in the world as a mainstream low-temperature environmentally friendly refrigerant. It is widely used in low-temperature chiller systems. middle.

R410A: It is a new environmentally friendly refrigerant that does not contain chlorine and does not destroy the ozone layer. Because the working pressure is about 1.6 times that of the ordinary R22 chiller, the cooling (warming) efficiency is high, and the material requirements for the chiller condenser and evaporator are Higher, therefore, the price of R410A chiller is higher than R22 and R407C. The new R410A refrigerant is composed of two quasi-azeotropic mixtures R32 and R125 each with 50%, mainly composed of hydrogen, fluorine and carbon elements (expressed as hfc), which is stable, non-toxic, and superior in performance. R410A was once recognized as the most suitable refrigerant to replace R22, and it has been popularized in Europe, America, Japan and other countries. R410A replaces the global trends in major international markets and prospects for its use and the dynamics of entering the international market.


R134a (is one of the most widely used medium and low temperature environmentally friendly refrigerants. It has good comprehensive performance, making it a very effective and safe alternative to R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane), which can be applied to the use of R12 refrigeration In most areas of refrigerant. Because the cooling effect of R134A is much lower than that of R22 and R407C, the cost of the R134A chiller system is much higher than that of R22/R407C under the same cooling capacity requirement.

Where are water-cooled chillers used? What is a chiller used for?

  Water-cooled chiller   is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure. A chiller is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycles. These liquids can flow through heat exchangers to cool the air or equipment. The industrial chiller can always output ice water with a lower temperature than the ambient temperature. It can be used wherever cooling is required, either direct cooling or indirect heat exchange. The main components of a water-cooled chiller are compressor, condenser, evaporator, water pump, and water tank. Chillers have a wide range of applications. The chiller can be used to cool the injection mold, improve the quality of plastic products, cool the vacuum coating, control the temperature of the vacuum coating machine, cool the food industry, fast cooling processing, chemical industry, effectively control the temperature of chemicals, cooling buildings, concrete fast Cool...

Ways and solutions of noise produced by chillers - www.oumalchiller.com

  It is inevitable that the chiller will produce sound when it is working. For example, when the fan rotates, the fan blades rub against the air, it will produce sound. Normal sound is allowed. However, even the sophisticated refrigeration equipment will appear after a long period of use. Fault. Then, the editor of   Oumal Chiller   will take you to understand the causes and solutions of the noise produced by the chiller. First, find the reason from the parts that are easy to check and observe: 1. Are the anchor screws loose? The chiller is fixed on the ground. After running for a long time, the anchor bolts will be loose, and the chiller will be unstable, which will cause noise. This situation can be solved by replacing the anchor bolts, and vibration reduction can also be installed if conditions permit. The purpose is to make the chiller firmly fixed on the ground. 2. Whether the connecting pipeline is firm There are large and small pipes on the chiller, connecting the ...

How is the Refrigeration Industry Leading the Green Development with R404A

  As global environmental concerns continue to rise, the refrigeration industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported overseas are now increasingly adopting the eco-friendly refrigerant R404A, leading the way in the industry's green development. Here's a deeper look into this trend. Why Is R404A Becoming the Preferred Refrigerant for  Water-Cooled Low-Temperature Units ? R404A is a blend of refrigerants that stands out due to its environmentally friendly properties. It is free from Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and has a relatively low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an ideal substitute for traditional refrigerants. This balance between high-performance cooling and environmental friendliness has made R404A especially popular in regions with strict environmental regulations, such as Europe and North America. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported to these areas are now commonly equipped with R404A to meet local ...
