Chemours R-417A: A Cost-Effective Retrofit for R-22 in AC and Refrigeration
Chemours R-417A (Freonā¢ MO59) is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant designed as a cost-effective replacement for R-22 in direct expansion (DX) stationary air conditioning (AC) and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. Its compatibility with mineral (MO), alkylbenzene (AB), and polyol ester (POE) oils eliminates the need for lubricant changes, making retrofitting faster and more economical.
Applications of R-417A
ā Residential and Commercial AC Systems
ā Medium-Temperature Refrigeration Units
ā Food service, storage, and processing equipment
ā Supermarket display cases
For water chillers, Chemours R-422D (MO29) is recommended as a better option.
