Applications
R-170 is particularly suitable for refrigeration systems operating at ultra-low temperatures, where high cooling capacity and stable thermodynamic performance are required. Its natural origin and reduced environmental impact make it an attractive option for applications seeking to minimize refrigerant-related emissions. It is commonly used in research facilities, laboratories, specialized industrial processes and cryogenic refrigeration systems. Due to its A3 safety classification, equipment design, installation and maintenance must comply with the specific safety requirements applicable to flammable refrigerants.
