R-407C is an A1 non-azeotropic HFC blend refrigerant gas used in new equipment. Due to its thermodynamic characteristics, it is also used as a R-22 replacement via retrofit in some applications.
BOREA R-407C is a refrigerant solution aimed at HVAC and refrigeration professionals who need to work with a gas widely used in commercial, industrial and maintenance applications. Within the BOREA range, R-407C offers a well-established alternative for compatible equipment that requires stable and safe operation.
It is especially widespread in air conditioning, heat pumps and certain refrigeration systems. At the same time, since it is an HFC refrigerant, both the technical characteristics of the equipment and current regulations should be considered before selecting this solution for a specific installation.
BOREA R-407C can be used in different HVAC and refrigeration systems, provided the equipment has been designed or adapted to operate with this refrigerant.
Its most common applications include:
This range of uses makes BOREA R-407C a useful solution for installation and maintenance companies that work with different types of equipment and need a versatile refrigerant for their operations.
BOREA R-407C is a zeotropic blend of HFC refrigerants with safety classification A1. This means it has low toxicity and is non-flammable under normal operating conditions, a feature that is especially relevant for professional HVAC applications.
In addition, R-407C provides suitable thermodynamic performance for numerous systems and has a long track record of use in the sector.
Its main characteristics are:
As a zeotropic blend, it exhibits temperature glide, which means it must be handled according to the appropriate technical procedures to maintain the correct composition of the refrigerant.
R-407C has been used for many years as one of the alternatives to R-22 in certain HVAC and refrigeration systems. For this reason, BOREA R-407C can be an option to consider in retrofitting projects, provided the installation is technically compatible.
However, it is not a drop-in refrigerant. Replacing R-22 with R-407C requires a prior assessment of the equipment, the lubricant used, the components and the operating conditions.
The viability of each conversion will depend on the specific characteristics of the installation, so a technical assessment is recommended before selecting the replacement refrigerant.
What is BOREA R-407C used for?
BOREA R-407C is used in air-conditioning and commercial and industrial refrigeration systems that require a reliable HFC refrigerant with stable performance.
What are the main advantages of BOREA R-407C?
It offers a practical balance of cooling capacity, energy efficiency and compatibility with widely installed equipment, when used according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Can BOREA R-407C replace R-22 directly?
It is not a universal drop-in replacement. The equipment, oil, components and operating conditions must be checked by a qualified technician before any conversion.
Where can BOREA R-407C be used?
It can be considered for suitable air-conditioning, heat-pump, commercial refrigeration and industrial refrigeration applications, subject to system design and safety requirements.
Is BOREA R-407C suitable for new installations?
Yes, provided the installation is designed for R-407C and the charging, service and operating procedures specified by the manufacturer are followed.
Supplying refrigerant goes beyond simply having the product available. For companies and professionals, factors such as format, consumption frequency, availability and technical guidance are equally important.
BOREA R-407C can be supplied in different formats to suit different professional requirements.
The choice will depend on consumption volume, frequency of use and the characteristics of each project. Selecting the right format makes refrigerant management more efficient and ensures the quantity required for each job.
