Main Applications of Freon Hot Shot™ 2

Low-Temperature Refrigeration

R-417C can be used in suitable low-temperature refrigeration applications where an appropriate replacement for R-12 or other listed legacy refrigerants is required.

Potential equipment includes:

• Commercial refrigeration
• Refrigerated storage
• Low-temperature refrigeration
• Food refrigeration
• Refrigeration service equipment
• Direct-expansion refrigeration systems

Medium-Temperature Refrigeration

Freon Hot Shot™ 2 is also suitable for selected medium-temperature refrigeration applications.

System performance should be evaluated according to the evaporating temperature, condensing temperature, compressor, metering device, refrigerant charge and system load.

High-Temperature Refrigeration

Chemours technical documentation identifies R-417C for suitable R-12 and R-134a low-, medium- and high-temperature refrigeration applications.

Air Conditioning

Freon Hot Shot™ 2 is identified for suitable R-12 and R-500 air-conditioning applications.

R-12 Replacement Refrigerant

One of the principal uses of Freon Hot Shot™ 2 is replacing R-12 in suitable systems.

R-12 is a CFC refrigerant subject to phase-out and restrictions in many markets. R-417C provides an HFC-based alternative for suitable existing equipment.

Freon™ specifically identifies Hot Shot™ 2 as an R-12 replacement and lists a range of R-12 replacement blends for which it can be used in suitable retrofit applications.

R-12 and R-500 Replacement Applications

R-417C can be considered for suitable systems originally designed for:

• R-12
• R-500
• R-401A
• R-401B
• R-409A
• R-414A
• R-414B
• R-416A
• R-420A
• R-426A
• R-437

System-specific compatibility must be confirmed before conversion.

R-134a Applications

Chemours’ Hot Shot-2 conversion documentation identifies R-417C for suitable R-134a systems, including low-, medium- and high-temperature refrigeration applications.

This should not be interpreted as universal drop-in compatibility. The actual equipment design, compressor, lubricant, metering device, operating conditions and manufacturer instructions must be evaluated before conversion.

Lubricant Compatibility

A major advantage of Freon Hot Shot™ 2 is its compatibility with several compressor oil types.

Mineral Oil — MO

R-417C is compatible with mineral oil in suitable applications.

Alkylbenzene — AB

Alkylbenzene lubricants are also compatible with Hot Shot™ 2.

Polyolester — POE

POE lubricants are compatible with suitable R-417C systems.

Chemours states that Hot Shot™ 2 is compatible with traditional and new lubricants and that in most cases no lubricant change is required. However, oil condition and equipment requirements must still be evaluated during a retrofit.

Direct-Expansion System Compatibility

Freon Hot Shot™ 2 is designed for systems using direct-expansion metering devices such as:

• TXV / TEV
• Orifice
• Capillary tube

Chemours’ conversion guidance states that a TEV or capillary tube replacement is not required for the recommended retrofit procedure.

Benefits of Freon Hot Shot™ 2

Zero Ozone Depletion Potential

R-417C has an ODP of zero, making it a non-ozone-depleting HFC alternative to R-12.

A1 Safety Classification

R-417C is classified ASHRAE A1, indicating a nonflammable refrigerant classification under the applicable standard.

Broad Lubricant Compatibility

Compatibility with MO, AB and POE lubricants can simplify suitable retrofit projects.

Existing Equipment Retrofit

R-417C is intended for suitable existing systems, allowing refrigeration equipment to be evaluated for conversion rather than automatically requiring complete replacement.

Widespread Availability

Freon™ identifies widespread availability as one of Hot Shot™ 2’s product benefits.

GWP and Environmental Considerations

Chemours lists an AR5 GWP of 1,643 for R-417C.

Although R-417C has zero ozone depletion potential, its GWP remains relevant to current refrigerant regulations. Refrigerant rules vary by country, region and application and can change over time.

Where a lower-GWP solution is required, Chemours directs users toward its Opteon™ refrigerant portfolio.

R-417C Retrofit Procedure

A professional retrofit should be carried out according to the equipment manufacturer’s requirements and applicable refrigerant regulations.

Chemours’ published conversion guidance includes the following general process:

1. Record Existing System Data

Record operating conditions before removing the original refrigerant.

Important measurements can include:

• Suction pressure
• Discharge pressure
• Superheat
• Subcooling
• Temperature readings
• Refrigerant charge
• Compressor operating conditions

2. Recover the Existing Refrigerant

Recover the original refrigerant using approved recovery equipment and procedures.

3. Check the Oil

Chemours recommends evaluating the system oil for acidity, water and solids. If contamination is identified, the oil should be serviced according to OEM requirements.

4. Replace Filtration Components

Install an appropriate filter drier and service oil filters where required.

5. Leak Check

Pressure-test the system with dry nitrogen without exceeding the equipment’s design pressure.

6. Evacuate

Evacuate the system to remove moisture and non-condensable gases. Chemours’ published procedure specifies a minimum 500-micron vacuum.

7. Charge With R-417C

Chemours’ conversion guide instructs technicians to charge Hot Shot-2 as liquid and provides application-specific charging guidance. Follow the manufacturer’s current instructions rather than using a generic charge amount.

8. Test System Performance

After charging, check:

• Suction pressure
• Discharge pressure
• Superheat
• Subcooling
• System temperatures
• Compressor operation
• Refrigeration capacity

9. Label the System

Clearly identify the new refrigerant to prevent accidental mixing with other refrigerants.

Important Retrofit Considerations

Conversion from CFC or HCFC refrigerants to HFC refrigerants can affect certain elastomers and O-rings. Chemours advises checking these components during conversion because they can retract after the refrigerant change.

Before purchasing R-417C for a retrofit, confirm:

• Existing refrigerant
• Compressor model
• Compressor oil
• System operating temperature
• Metering device
• System capacity
• Refrigerant charge
• Equipment condition
• Leak condition
• OEM recommendations
• Local refrigerant regulations
