Opteon™ XL20 (R-454C) is a mildly flammable refrigerant with global warming potential (GWP) less than 150 for replacement of R-404A and R-22 in new equipment designs.

It is a low GWP hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) based refrigerant with the optimal balance of properties to replace R-404A and R-22 in positive displacement, direct expansion low- and medium temperature commercial and industrial
applications.

Opteon™ XL20 offers similar performance to the refrigerants it is designed to replace which makes it easy and cost-effective to apply in new equipment without major modifications.

Classified as mildly flammable (ISO/ASHRAE Class 2L), it allows much higher charge sizes than other more highly flammable refrigerants and can be safely used by following the applicable codes and standards.

With a GWP of 148, Opteon™ XL20 falls under the 150-threshold value in the F-Gas regulation 517/2014 and Eco-design, thus being particularly suited for hermetically-sealed systems.

Since Opteon™ XL20 is a mildly flammable class 2L refrigerant, please check your local regulations and Standards such as PED, EN378 or ISO5149 to verify the allowable filling charge, new equipment design and safe handling requirements for the intended application.

Applications

Low- and Medium temperature commercial and industrial refrigeration systems formerly designed for R-404A or R-22
Supermarkets
- Distributed systems
- Walk-in coolers/freezers, prep rooms, etc.
Condensing units (e.g. in food service)
Cold stores
Self-contained systems
Ideal for hermetically-sealed refrigeration systems (plug-in) thanks to the GWP < 150

Benefits

< 150 GWP (96 % reduction versus R-404A); meets F-Gas and Eco-Design GWP requirements; zero ozone depletion
Close performance match to R-404A; slightly reduced capacity, improved efficiency
Easily convertible from R-404A and R-22 design with minimal changes
Can be topped off after leaks
Non-toxic and mildly flammable (ISO/ASHRAE A2L)
Allows >1.7 kg minimum filling charge under new Codes & Standards (e.g. ISO 5149 or EN 378)
Miscible with POE lubricants
