Forane® Refrigerants Transport Refrigeration
Refrigerated trucks and containers provide a unique challenge for cooling systems. These applications are used in extreme weather conditions requiring the refrigeration system to be flexible enough to operate in a wide variety of ambient conditions. For these applications, Arkema recommends using Forane 134a, 404A and 507.
For medium temperature applications, Forane 134a provides the best cooling capacity and efficiency through this particular temperature range. For low temperature applications, Forane 404A and 507 are the best option using HFC technology.
Using Forane 134a, 404A and 507 in transport refrigeration provides the user with safe and efficient refrigerating fluids which can be purchased throughout the world from any of Arkema’s worldwide distributors.
