HyChill Minus 50 – High-Efficiency R290/R170 Refrigerant Blend
HyChill Minus 50 – High-Efficiency R290/R170 Refrigerant Blend
HyChill Minus 50 is a high-performance hydrocarbon refrigerant blend of R290 (propane) and R170 (ethane), designed to deliver exceptional efficiency in low-temperature refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. When replacing traditional refrigerants such as R22, R502, R407C, or R404A, Minus 50 can significantly lower energy consumption and reduce mechanical stress on equipment.
This natural refrigerant is an ideal solution for systems previously charged with HCFC R22 or CFC R502. Due to its superior cooling efficiency, Minus 50 can reach the desired thermostat temperature faster—resulting in energy savings of up to 20%, especially during high-temperature conditions.
Features & Benefits
- Excellent replacement option for R22, R502, R404A, and R407C
- Operates at pressures similar to R22 and R407C
- Delivers comparable volumetric refrigeration performance
- Compatible with R22 or R407C compressors, heat exchangers, and expansion devices
- Works with most common refrigeration materials and lubricants
Applications
Suitable for commercial and industrial refrigeration and air-conditioning systems traditionally using R22. Designed for low-temperature and energy-efficient operation.
Safety Information
Hydrocarbon refrigerants are flammable and must only be handled by trained, licensed, or experienced technicians. Safety standards and industry regulations must always be followed.
As with petrol and other flammable products, hydrocarbon refrigerants must not be released near ignition sources. HyChill products include a distinctive “rotting cabbage” odour to help identify leaks, although this scent may fade over time.
