R-23 Refrigerant Gas

R-23 Refrigerant Gas

R23, also known as Trifluoromethane (CHF₃), is a high-pressure HFC refrigerant primarily used in ultra-low temperature refrigeration systems, such as cryogenics, medical storage, and environmental test chambers. It is a by-product of HCFC-22 production and is valued for its stable performance in extreme cooling applications. However, due to its very high Global Warming Potential (GWP ~14,800), R23 is under strict environmental regulations worldwide.

Background Overlay

Product Description

R23 continues to be used in specialized ultra-low temperature refrigeration and cryogenic applications, despite regulatory pressure to transition to lower-GWP alternatives.
