About R449A Refrigerant Gas

R449A is a low-GWP refrigerant blend widely used in low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration, including supermarket systems, cold storage, condensing units, and other direct expansion applications. With a GWP of 1397, zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0), and an ASHRAE A1 classification, R449A offers dependable cooling performance, non-flammable operation, and a more environmentally responsible alternative to older high-GWP refrigerants used in commercial refrigeration.

R449A is widely chosen by installers and service technicians for both new refrigeration equipment and retrofit projects. It is appreciated for strong energy performance, reliable operation in demanding refrigeration systems, and its suitability as a replacement for refrigerants such as R404A and R507 in many existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions about R449A Refrigerant Gas

R449A is a low-GWP refrigerant blend used mainly in low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. It has a GWP of 1397, ODP = 0, and an ASHRAE A1 safety classification, which means it is non-flammable under normal conditions and suitable for professional refrigeration applications.

Yes. R449A is allowed in the EU, but it is regulated under Regulation (EU) 2024/573 on fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its placing on the market, use, servicing, recovery, and handling must follow the current F-Gas requirements.

R449A is widely used in low- and medium-temperature refrigeration, including cold storage, condensing units, self-contained systems, supermarket refrigeration, centralized rack systems, walk-in coolers/freezers, prep rooms, and DX chillers. It is used in both new equipment and retrofit projects where a lower-GWP alternative is needed.

Yes, R449A is commonly used as a replacement for R404A and R507, and in some retrofit cases it can also replace R22 and R407A in existing refrigeration equipment. Still, the final decision should always follow the equipment manufacturer’s approval and retrofit procedure.

No, this must be done by a specialist! The system must be checked to avoid leaks. Small recharge kits may be used personally for refilling car air conditioners.

The correct charge depends on the equipment model, application, system design, and manufacturer or retrofit specification. The exact refrigerant amount should always be taken from the nameplate, service documentation, or approved technical guideline, and the system should be charged to the required specification rather than estimated.

One of the practical advantages of R449A is that, in many retrofit cases, it does not require changes to lubricants or seals. That said, lubricant compatibility should still be checked against the compressor manufacturer’s guidance and the retrofit procedure for the specific system.

After leak repair, technicians can generally top off R449A, which makes servicing easier in many applications. However, if the system has suffered a major refrigerant loss, contamination, moisture ingress, or uncertain composition, a full recovery and recharge may still be the better professional approach.

The currently listed R449A pack sizes are 10 kg, 30 kg, 50 kg, 100 kg, 150 kg, 200 kg. These options are suitable for both smaller service work and larger-volume commercial refrigeration needs.

The currently listed prices for R449A are €469.00 ex. VAT for 10 kg, €1,340.00 ex. VAT for 30 kg, €2,150.00 ex. VAT for 50 kg, €3,950.00 ex. VAT for 100 kg, €5,850.00 ex. VAT for 150 kg, and €7,700.00 ex. VAT for 200 kg.

When you buy from us, you can be confident that you’re getting top-quality products at a fair price.

Yes. The store offers refrigerant supply across Europe, including standard and bulk ordering options depending on product availability.

R449A cylinders should be stored tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from open flames, hot surfaces, welding operations, and other heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 50°C / 125°F.
