Product Overview
R452A, also known as Opteon XP44 or Solstice 452A, is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blend designed as a lower-GWP replacement for R404A and R507A. Developed by Honeywell and Chemours, it is widely used in transport refrigeration and low-to-medium temperature applications. With its environmentally friendly properties and energy efficiency, R452A is a popular choice for modern refrigeration systems.
Key Features
- Environmentally Friendly: R452A has an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0 and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 2,141, making it a more sustainable alternative to R404A.
- Energy Efficient: Systems using R452A show improved energy efficiency, with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) increase of 3% to 8% compared to R404A.
- Non-Flammable and Safe: Classified as ASHRAE A1, R452A is non-flammable and has low toxicity, ensuring safe operation in various applications.
- Drop-in Replacement: R452A is a direct replacement for R404A and R507A, requiring no system modifications, which reduces retrofit costs.
- Wide Applications: Used in transport refrigeration, cold storage, refrigerated display cases, and more.

Applications
R452A is widely used in the following applications:
- Transport Refrigeration: Ideal for refrigerated trucks transporting dairy, meat, and frozen goods.
- Cold Storage: Used in cold rooms for storing fruits, vegetables, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
- Refrigerated Display Cases: Commonly found in supermarkets and retail stores.
Benefits
- Lower GWP: With a GWP of 2,141, R452A is significantly more environmentally friendly than R404A (GWP 3,922).
- Cost-Effective: As a drop-in replacement, it eliminates the need for costly system modifications.
- Improved Efficiency: Systems using R452A consume less energy, reducing operational costs
- Safe Operation: Non-flammable and low toxicity make it safe for use in various environments.
Packaging and Storage
R452A is available in reusable steel cylinders and ISO-TANK containers. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Proper handling and storage are essential to prevent leaks and ensure safety.
Environmental Impact
While R452A has a lower GWP than R404A, it is still considered a mid-term solution due to its moderately high GWP. Industries are encouraged to transition to refrigerants with even lower GWPs in the future.
