Industries at a glance – the right refrigerant choice for your application 

From meat and food production to gastronomy and supermarkets to heat pumps – the following areas lead directly to suitable refrigerants and show which solutions are suitable for medium temperature (MT) and low temperature (LT). 

Meat Production – Suitable Refrigerants 

Constant temperatures and process reliability are crucial in meat processing. For curing rooms, butchering, shock freezers, and cold storage, refrigerants with stable performance in the MT/LT range are required. Our selection covers new and existing systems.

  • R449A (A1, GWP ~1397): MT/LT, energy-efficient; suitable replacement for R404A.
  • R404A (A1, GWP ~3922): Very high cooling capacity for deep freezing and blast freezing.
  • R134a (A1, GWP ~1430): Stable in the medium temperature range for process and storage cooling. 

These devices combine reliable performance and appropriate temperature ranges – for safe cooling processes in meat production. 

Ice & Food Production – Suitable Refrigerants 

From ice cream to fresh logistics: Food production demands precise temperature control, hygiene, and high energy efficiency. Depending on the line, both medium and low-temperature areas are used – with robust refrigerants for continuous operation. 

  • R449A (A1, GWP ~1397): Efficient in MT/LT; modern alternative to R404A with lower GWP.
  • R407C (A1, GWP ~1774): For reversible systems/heat pumps and medium temperature ranges.
  • R134a (A1, GWP ~1430): Proven in process cooling, cold rooms, and display cases. 

This guarantees stable product quality and economical operating costs – thanks to precise temperature control in continuous operation. 

Gastronomy & Supermarkets – Suitable Refrigerants 

In kitchens, counters, and sales areas, reliable cooling at low operating costs is essential. For refrigerated furniture, composite systems, and freezers, we recommend refrigerants with high performance and efficient temperature control. 

  • R449A (A1, GWP ~1397): For refrigerated furniture/composite systems (MT/LT), more efficient than R404A. 
  • R404A (A1, GWP ~3922): High cooling capacity for freezers and blast chillers. 
  • R134a (A1, GWP ~1430): Medium temperature for counters and cold rooms. 

This gives you reliable cooling in gastronomy and retail – from MT counters to LT freezers. 

Heat Pumps – Suitable Refrigerants 

With heat pumps, efficiency, pressure levels, and availability are crucial. Depending on the system (new installation or existing), different refrigerants are suitable – each with specific advantages. 

  • R32 (A2L, GWP ~675): High efficiency, lower fill quantities; modern split/multi-split systems.
  • R410A (A1, GWP ~2088): Established in existing systems; robust performance (note high pressure).
  • R407C (A1, GWP ~1774): For reversible applications in the medium temperature range; widely available. 

This is how you choose the right refrigerant for reliable heating and cooling, depending on the device type and efficiency goal. 

Refrigerant Comparison – Properties & Applications 

Here you will find an overview of our refrigerants and their most important specifications:

  • R134a – A1, GWP ~1430; proven in the medium temperature range (process/storage cooling, automotive AC). 
  • R404A – A1, GWP ~3922; very high cooling capacity for deep freezing/blast freezing. 
  • R410A – A1, GWP ~2088; AC/heat pumps with high pressure, robust performance.
  • R449A – A1, GWP ~1397; modern, efficient alternative to R404A (MT/LT). 
  • R407C – A1, GWP ~1774; R22 replacement, reversible applications in the MT range. 
  • R32 – A2L, GWP ~675; efficient split/multi-split systems, lower fill quantities. 
  • R1234yf – A2L, GWP ~4; standard in vehicle air conditioning systems, very low GWP. 
  • R513A – A1, GWP ~631; R134a alternative with similar performance in MT/HT range. 

Refrigerant mixtures (e.g., R404A, R407C, R449A) should always be filled in liquid form, and the approved POE oil should be used. The classes mean: A1 = non-flammable, A2L = low flammability. GWP values indicate the climate impact and facilitate comparison – especially for sustainable decisions.

FAQ – Refrigerants & Selection 

Here you will find the answers to the questions we receive most frequently: 

How do I find the right refrigerant for my application? 

Start with the temperature range (MT/LT/HT), system type, and energy goals. Check GWP, safety class (A1/A2L), and manufacturer approvals. Compare product performance and oil compatibility. Our expert team will recommend the appropriate option for your application. 

What do GWP values mean and how do they influence selection? 

GWP describes the climate impact compared to CO₂ (GWP = 1). Low GWP values are more climate-friendly. Also consider efficiency, safety class, and availability. This way, you choose a refrigerant that meets both environmental goals and technical requirements. 

Which refrigerants are suitable for heat pumps or commercial refrigeration? 

Heat pumps often use R32 (efficient, A2L) or R410A (A1) in existing units. Commercial refrigeration uses R449A (MT/LT) or R134a (MT) depending on the temperature range. Important: check manufacturer approvals, efficiency targets, safety class, and consider the oil compatibility of the system. 

Ordering refrigerant online: What should I check before buying?
