DuPont™ ISCEON® MO79 refrigerant


DuPont ISCEON MO79ISCEON® MO79 is an easy-to-use, non-ozone-depleting HFC refrigerant for replacing R-22, R-502, and HCFC-containing refrigerant blends in medium- and low-temperature commercial and industrial direct expansion refrigeration systems.

Refer to Copeland's Changeover Guidelines, which now include R-22 to ISCEON® MO29 (R-422D) and ISCEON® MO79 (R-422A).

Product Information
ASHRAE #

R-422A

Replaces

R-22, R-502, and HCFC-containing blends (e.g., HP80, HP81, R-408A)

Applications

  • Medium- and low-temperature commercial and industrial direct expansion refrigeration, including:
    • food service
    • supermarket display cases
    • food storage and processing
    • ice machines
Benefits

  • provides easy, quick, cost-effective retrofits -- easier retrofit than R-404A and R-507
  • non-ozone-depleting HFC
  • in most cases no change of lubricant type during retrofit is required -- compatible with traditional and new lubricants
  • enables continued use of existing equipment
  • 20% lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) vs. R-404A and R-507
  • can be topped off during service without removing the entire refrigerant charge  
Performance

  • provides improved cooling capacity over R-22 at many operating conditions with up to +15% at low temperature conditions
  • provides comparable cooling capacity to R-404A
  • field testing shows can provide improved energy efficiency vs. R-22
  • significantly lower discharge temperature vs. R-22 – likely to prolong the life of the compressor
Phaseout Schedule

ISCEON® MO79 is a zero-ozone-depleting substance and, therefore, is not subject to phaseout under the Montreal Protocol regulations.

Lubricant Recommended

ISCEON® MO79 is compatible with traditional and new lubricants -- mineral oil (MO), alkylbenzene (AB), and polyol ester (POE) -- in most cases no change of lubricant type during retrofit is required.   Refer to the ISCEON® MO79 Retrofit Guidelines and Copeland's changeover guidelines, which now include ISCEON® MO29 & ISCEON® MO79, for additional information.
