Thermoplastic flexible hoses for R-744 application

Special line of hoses developed in compliance with EN 1736 CLASS1, which assures the lowest permeability to refrigerant gases. ZEC’s hoses are the best flexible solution for natural gases as refrigerants (R-744, R-717, R-290, R-600a, etc.) in both sub-critical and trans-critical applications.

Session description

R-744 (CO2) based refrigeration is, without any doubt, a great evolution for the shift to low-GWP refrigerants. R-744 however requires high pressure and temperature, that means a complete redesign of heat exchangers and the whole refrigeration circuit. Flexible hoses could help to make this transition easier.
Flexible thermoplastic hoses are already widely used in refrigeration and air conditioning applications where flexibility, easy installation and maintenance are mandatory. With some new developments, thermoplastic hoses can already be used also with R-744 in both sub-critical and trans-critical applications, favouring the transition from high-GWP to low-GWP gases in refrigeration and air conditioning sectors. The challenge is combined the ...
