R513A

R513A is a non-ozone depleting, non-flammable refrigerant HFO blend designed as a low GWP replacement for R134a in medium and high temperature air conditioning and refrigeration applications.

R513A is suitable for use in new systems as well as for retrofitting existing systems.

Characteristics

• As R513A closely matches the characteristics and performance of R134a, using it as a replacement results in time and cost savings during a retrofit
• R513A should only be liquid charged into a system to ensure proper refrigerant composition and system performance
• Check to see the existing expansion device would have sufficient capacity to operate with R513A as a minimum the valve would require adjustment

Safety and materials handling

Safety Class      GWP 56% lower than R134a, Allows for use of existing equipment
