R449A is an HFC and HFO blend for suitable commercial refrigeration systems. It may also be assessed for retrofits of existing equipment where the manufacturer has approved it.
Application
Moving from R404A or R507 requires checking the system and its components, not just replacing the gas. Cold rooms and retail equipment must consider operating temperatures and the blend’s temperature glide. R449A is an HFC and HFO blend for suitable cold rooms and other refrigeration equipment. It may be assessed for a retrofit of certain R404A or R507 systems where there is a relevant manufacturer or technical-project approval. Before the change, assess the compressor, oil and control solution. R449A and R448A are not identical blends; an approval for one name cannot be applied to the other.
System compatibility and service plan
Before buying R449A, check the system label, the manufacturer’s instructions and the required charge mass. Compatibility covers not only the refrigerant name but also the compressor, oil, seals and service equipment. If a gas change or retrofit is planned, agree the choice with a qualified technician. A similar application or a similar product name is not in itself a technical approval.
Technical specification and batch documents
Request the R449A technical specification and safety data sheet for the specific delivery. Compare the gas named in the documents with your order and the cylinder label. If your company has quality or traceability requirements, confirm the available batch documents before purchase. A cylinder colour or picture alone does not confirm composition, purity or other technical parameters.
Cylinder and net content
This pack contains 10 kg of net R449A refrigerant. The quantity refers to the gas only and excludes the cylinder tare and box; it is not the total shipment weight. Compare the net quantity with your planned service consumption. Before purchase, confirm the cylinder use, ownership or exchange terms and the required connection type. Confirm the packaging details for the specific delivery.
Price and ordering from AC Baltic
To buy R449A, send AC Baltic an enquiry with the product name, number of cylinders and intended application. The R449A price and availability are confirmed in the current quote. For orders in Latvia, state the delivery address; delivery to other European or Nordic countries is arranged separately, with the country and receiving conditions specified. For bulk enquiries, state the total volume and the required date.
Professional charging and safe storage
R449A gas, commonly called freon, is intended for professional work in line with equipment requirements. Before charging, the technician must assess the condition of the existing circuit and the required service scope; buying extra gas does not fix a technical fault. Organise work and cylinder storage according to the safety data sheet and applicable rules. Exact charging parameters come from the equipment documentation, not from general online descriptions.
What to include in an enquiry
Include the equipment model, the gas shown on its data plate and the required number of R449A cylinders. If a specific technical specification or document set is required, send the requirements before the order is confirmed.
