Seltrade offers R-290 refrigerant gas, a high-purity hydrocarbon (propane) refrigerant used in a wide range of commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Known for its superior thermodynamic performance and ultra-low environmental impact, R-290 refrigerant gas is a reliable, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly solution for modern cooling applications.

Key Features

Natural, Low-GWP Refrigerant: R-290 is a natural hydrocarbon with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0) and extremely low Global Warming Potential (GWP ≈ 3). It is an environmentally sustainable replacement for high-GWP HFC refrigerants like R-404A and R-134a in both new equipment and retrofit systems.

High Efficiency and Cooling Capacity: With excellent thermodynamic properties, R-290 delivers strong cooling performance and improved energy efficiency across a variety of applications, including commercial refrigeration systems, heat pumps, and split AC units.

Versatile Applications: R-290 is widely used in commercial freezers, display cases, ice machines, chillers, and small industrial refrigeration systems. It is also increasingly used in domestic heat pumps and air conditioning units due to its energy-saving potential.

Lubricant Compatibility: R-290 works effectively with commonly used synthetic lubricants such as polyolester (POE) oils, ensuring proper lubrication and compressor reliability across various system configurations.

ASHRAE A3 Safety Classification: R-290 is classified as A3 — non-toxic but highly flammable. It must be handled according to strict safety standards and is suitable for systems with limited charge size and integrated safety features such as leak detection and ventilation.
