HyChill Minus 60 – R290/R170 Refrigerant Blend for R410A & R32 Replacement
HyChill Minus 60 – R290/R170 Refrigerant Blend for R410A & R32 Replacement
HyChill Minus 60 is a premium hydrocarbon refrigerant blend made from R290 (propane) and R170 (ethane), designed as an efficient and eco-friendly replacement for synthetic refrigerants such as R410A and R32. This natural alternative is ideal for retrofitting air-conditioning systems originally operating on synthetic fluorocarbon gases.
Minus 60 delivers excellent cooling performance, especially in high and extreme ambient temperatures, while operating at significantly lower pressures. Its superior thermodynamic properties help reduce energy consumption, extend equipment lifespan, and improve overall system reliability.
Key Characteristics
- Excellent performance even in extreme temperature environments
- Rapid cooling capability
- High energy efficiency compared to synthetic refrigerants
- Operates at lower pressures than R410A and R32
System Compatibility
Switching from synthetic fluorocarbons to Minus 60 can noticeably cut energy costs and reduce stress on air-conditioning components.
- Can be used with R410A or R32 compressors
- Works with R410A and R32 heat exchangers and expansion devices
- Fully compatible with common refrigeration materials and lubricants
- Not suitable for AC systems that rely on pressure-based control
Safety Guidelines
Hydrocarbon refrigerants are flammable and must be handled only by trained and qualified technicians. Always follow relevant industry standards and regulations.
Like all hydrocarbons, these refrigerants should never be released near ignition sources. HyChill products include a unique “rotting cabbage” scent to assist with leak detection, though this odour may reduce over time.
