Overview
RS-50 is a low global warming potential (GWP) replacement for harsher refrigeration technologies like R404A, R507, and R22. The RS-50 is an HFC blend that provides excellent performance in medium & low chiller systems.
RS-50 is an excellent drop-in replacement for R404A, R507 with superior performance in:
Global Warming Potential (GWP) Less than Half, Considerably Lower Mass Flow, High Thermal Capacity, Higher Coefficient of Performance (COP), and Increase in Energy Efficiency.
RS-50 is an ideal solution for both new and retrofitting for compressor based and close loop refrigeration systems.
