Refrigerant Gases Freon™/Opteon™
Freon – HP81
Freon™ HP81 is an HCFC retrofit refrigerant for R-502 in limited applications where a 10°F to 20°F (5.5°C to 11°C) increase in compressor discharge temperature is desirable, such as some ice machines and other self-contained systems. Field experience has shown that no oil change is needed in many unitary and close-coupled systems.
