Freon 404A (R-404A) Refrigerant
Freon 404A (R-404A) is a blended hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant comprised of R-125, R-134a, and R-143a. It was designed to replace R-502 and R-22 used in commercial refrigerator equipment for low and medium temperature ranges. Its properties make it ideal for use in display cases, refrigerated vehicles, ice makers, and other applications.

Features and Benefits
Freon 404A offers the best overall properties when compared to R-502. Its capacity and efficiency values are equivalent to R-502. It operates at comparable physical and thermodynamic properties which makes transitioning to new systems or retrofitting older systems easier. The compressor discharge temperatures of Freon 404A can fall 9 °C (14 °F) lower than R-502, which may lead to longer compressor life and better lubricant stability.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) recommend using polyolester (POE) oil in a unit’s compressor when replacing R-502 with Freon 404A. After the oil change, Freon 404A will offer the same operating range as R-502.
