EP600a
● Characteristics
- R600a (EP600a /CARE 10/isobutane) is a single ingredient refrigerant and is used primarily in domestic refrigerators. In Europe millions of domestic fridges already use this type of refrigerant. In the UK, British manufacturer LEC produces fridges for the home market LEC produces fridges for the home market using CARE 10. Also, in Korea LG and Samsung have been used our products.
▶ Primarily for use in new domestic refrigerators and freezers.
▶ Operates at significantly lower pressures than R12 or R134a.
▶ Possesses lower volumetric refrigerating effect than R12 or R134a.
▶ Requires a specific R600a compressor.
▶ Not for use as a retrofit refrigerant.
▶ Compatible with most common refrigeration materials and lubricants.
- Purity : 99.5% ~ 99.99% Our product will improve C.O.P by 5~15% due to higher thermodynamic properties.
- Charging amount can be reduced by 42-54% against CFC12 and HFC134a. Compressor noise level, also can be reduced due to lesser vapor pressure. Economical mineral oil can be used.
- Application Range : Domestic refrigeration, water purifier, medical aerosols, Cosmetics, Foaming agent, washing agent, G.C standard gas
- Packing : 500gr/CAN, 3Kg/10 Kg/20 Kg/50 Kg Cylinder, Bulk Tank, ISO Tank Container
