In readiness for the projected increase in R404A replacement projects, Harp International has announced the availability of a full range of replacement refrigerants including Opteon™ XP40 (R449A) produced by Chemours.

As users become increasingly aware of its leading performance characteristics this HFO blend low GWP replacement for R404A and R507 in commercial refrigeration has been specified for a series of store refits by major retailers. Through Harp International’s exclusive distributor agreement with Dean & Wood, the full range of Opteon low GWP replacement refrigerants is available to contractors throughout the UK and Ireland. These new products have been developed to help end users meet the challenges of the continued reduction in F-Gas quotas, and also include Opteon XP10 (R513A) to replace R134a in refrigeration and chiller applications and Opteon XP44 (R452A) to replace R404A in transport refrigeration and in low temperature applications where a low discharge temperature is an important requirement.
