Forane® 404A refrigerant ( R-404A) is a non-ozone depleting, near azeotropic blend of HFC refrigerants R-125, R-143a, and R-134a.

Application:
R-404A is formulated to closely match the properties of R-502, making it useful for a variety of medium and low temperature refrigeration applications. R-404A has been approved by many refrigeration compressor and system manufacturers for use in new refrigeration equipment such as food display and storage cases, cold storage rooms, ice machines, transportation, and process refrigeration.

Properties & Performance:
R-404A is designed to meet the needs of many new and existing refrigeration systems. R-404A is near azeotropic HFC refrigerant blend rated A1 by ASHRAE ( lowest levels of toxicity and flammability) having zero ozone depletion potential.

Lubrication:
R-404A is immiscible with the traditional lubricants used in R-502 systems. As such, the original oil should be replaced with POE when retrofitting to R-404A, and the presence of the old oil should be reduced to 5% or less of the original charge. Failure to do so may result in inadequate oil return or other system problems.

Charging:
Due to the zeotropic nature of R-404A, it should be charged as a liquid to prevent fractionation ( changes in refrigerant composition due to vapor charging. In situations where vapor is normally charged into a system, a valve should be installed in the charging line to flash the liquid to vapor during charging. Testing shows that fractionation due to system leaks is typically not a problem for R-404A. Fix the leak and top off the charge.

Retrofit:
R-404A can be used to retrofit many existing R-502 systems. The physical and thermodynamic properties of the blend cause it to behave much like R-502 when used as a retrofit but it is not intended to be a direct “ drop-in� for R-502 systems. Due to higher operating pressures associated with the use of R-404A as opposed to R-502, OEM product specific retrofit recommendations should be consulted for any and all pressure relief modifications and/ or requirements.
