The non-ozone depleting A1 refrigerant R 407H has a GWP of 1495 – 62% lower than R404A – and is considered by Daikin as an economical retrofit with limited modifications.A mixture of R32, R125 and R134a, it is said to be compatible with common POE oils. Daikin R-407H has been submitted for approval to the EPA SNAP Program as a replacement for the legacy ozone depleting refrigerant R-22, and high GWP refrigerants, such as R-404A and R-507A, which are widely used today for supermarket, warehouse, and marine vessel refrigeration equipment. Samples are intended for refrigeration contractors and distributors working on supermarkets, grocery stores, walk in coolers and freezers and mini grocers. Samples are applicable to OEM systems and R-404A and R-22 retrofits.
