Refrigerant R-143a

R-143a (1,1,1-Trifluoroethane) is an HFC refrigerant commonly used as a component in blended refrigerants for low and medium temperature refrigeration systems. It is a colorless gas with excellent thermodynamic properties and is widely utilized in commercial and industrial cooling applications.

R-143a is primarily used in refrigerant blends such as R-404A and R-507, where it helps improve cooling performance and system efficiency. It offers stable operation, reliable heat transfer characteristics, and compatibility with modern refrigeration equipment.

This refrigerant has Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), making it a safer alternative to older CFC and HCFC refrigerants. Due to its high cooling capacity and dependable performance, R-143a is extensively used in transport refrigeration, supermarket refrigeration, cold storage, and industrial cooling systems.
