Kryon® 600a - Grade 2.5 (99.5%) in 12.5 L Cylinder - 6 kg (valve 20.0 x 1/14" LH) in refillable T-PED cylinder (rental)

Superior refrigerant properties of hydrocarbons Kryon® 600a (isobutane refrigeration) is a hydrocarbon (HC) belonging to the alkane series. Hydrocarbons are refrigerants composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen atoms; these compounds are already naturally present in the atmosphere and therefore pose no environmental risk. Kryon® 600a, like all hydrocarbons, is a flammable gas and safety concerns exist regarding its use; however, thanks to its excellent thermodynamic properties, its use requires only reduced refrigerant charges. This very low quantity required (a few grams) makes Kryon® 600a perfectly safe and extremely high-performing. The gas also requires the use of mineral-type oils in the compressors of refrigeration units, which makes it possible to avoid the moisture-related issues associated with the use of synthetic lubricants.

Applications:

Kryon® 600a is used in commercial refrigeration: display cases and cold rooms, ice-making machines, vending machines and refrigerated warehouses. Kryon® 600a is also used in domestic refrigeration: home freezers and refrigerators.

Performance:

  • The absence of substances potentially harmful to the ozone layer has allowed Kryon® 600a to progressively establish itself not only as the working fluid in refrigeration systems, but also as a blowing agent for the production of insulating foams for refrigeration appliances.
  • Thanks to its thermodynamic characteristics, Kryon® 600a requires a reduced gas charge in systems, which mitigates the risks associated with flammability.

Recommended Lubricants:

A distinctive feature of applications using hydrocarbon refrigerants, such as R290 and R600a, is the high solubility of the refrigerant in the lubricating oil. This strong dissolution can cause significant dilution of the lubricant, reducing the thickness of the lubricating film under certain operating conditions. This can lead to increased wear and a reduced compressor service life. For this reason, it is essential to choose a lubricant with a higher initial viscosity, specifically formulated for applications with hydrocarbon refrigerants. The Kryonlube HC PAG series consists of PAG-based synthetic oils, designed to offer low solubility with hydrocarbon refrigerants, helping to maintain an adequate lubricating film thickness and to protect the compressor over time.
