The Chiller R-514A is offered as an option for some new centrifugal chillers and replacement for existing chillers.
R-514A is a mixture composed of 74.7% of R-1336mzz (Z) and 25.3% of R-1130 (E)).
What should you know about R-514A in chillers?
- The chemical stability of R-514A and R-1233zd (E) refrigerants has been shown to be better than R-123, and both refrigerants have been qualified for application in a range of centrifugal compressor-based chillers.
- The R514A is an upgrade alternative to the R-123, although the cooler will have to undergo some modifications.
- R-514A is a compatible design replacement for R-123 in both engineering modification applications and new production.
- Although not flammable, R514A is slightly toxic. Like R-123, R-514A has an ASHRAE B designation due to its increased toxicity
