Features
R600A, which is a hydrocarbon (HC), is used for household refrigerators and vending machines. Especially in household refrigerators, most of them use R600a. In addition, it is used as a fuel of the cassette cylinder by using the nature of burning besides the refrigerant as you know. Since r600a is a natural refrigerant that originally exists in the natural world, GWP is very low and ODP is also 0.
Although it is necessary to be careful about the flammable when using it as a refrigerant, the amount of use is minimized, and the explosion-proof structure is taken so that the refrigerant does not leak. Since there is no flammable, it is extremely dangerous to use this refrigerant in a device developed with a refrigerant that has no explosion-proof structure or the like.
