R-416A Product Info Sheet

R416A is THE Choice for Improved Performance With Your R-12 Conversions

R-416A is EPA SNAP accepted for use in Stationary Systems, and Flooded Evaporators/ Chillers.
It is non-toxic, non-flammable (A1/A1 Rated) and UL classified (File # MH25671.)
Is less than half the cost of hard to find R-12.
Will be manufactured through 2020.
No other blend can match R-416A’s performance.

Advantages of Aspen R-416A vs. R-12

R-416A is approximately 1/2 the price
R-416A has less than 1% the ozone depletion of R-12
R-416A has 1/8th the global warming potential
R-416A typically uses less energy to produce equivalent cooling
R-416A has lower high and low side pressures
R-416A will be manufactured throughout expected lifetime of the air conditioning and refrigeration equipment

Advantages of Aspen R-416A vs. R-22 Based Blends (R-401A, R-409A, R-414B)

R-416A has lower discharge pressures and temperatures
R-416A has lower glide and is classified as a NARM (Near Azeotrope)
R-416A exhibits lower fractionation, it can be topped-off without loss of performance
R-416A has better compatibility with the materials of construction in systems designed for R-12
R-416A has a lower global warming and lower ozone depletion potential
R-416A optimizes compressor performance: quieter, longer life with reduced current draw

Advantages of Aspen R-416A vs. R-134a

R-416A costs less to convert
R-416A is designed to replace R-12
