R-152 Refrigerant

Fluoro 134a provides good energy efficiency to the systems even at high condensing temperatures.

R-152a REFRIGERANT

R152a is a classified as medium-safe refrigerant, Class A2, non-toxic but slightly flammable. While the refrigeration plant safety regulation limits the use of medium-safe refrigerants in direct expansion commercial refrigeraion application.

PERFORMANCE

R152a is commonly used as a propellant in aerosols, as a foaming agent, or as a component of refrigerant blends, however, its classification as a slightly flammable refrigerant has limited its use in automotive and commercial refrigeration.

compatible with all materials, refrigeration components, thermostatic valves, compressors and lubricating oils.

Lubrication

Polyolester (POE) or polyalkylene glycol (PAG – only for auto A/C) lubricants must be used with Fluoro 134a since it is not miscible with mineral oil or alkylbenzene lubricants. POE or PAG oil absorb moisture quickly when left exposed to the atmosphere. Handle them carefully and avoid prolonged exposure to air.

Charging

Charging with R152a can be done either as a vapor or a liquid. End – users should check with their equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for specific charging instructions.
