Description
R-438A (also marketed as MO99) is a non-ozone-depleting HFC refrigerant blend engineered as a near-drop-in retrofit replacement for R-22 in medium- and high-temperature air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Supplied in a convenient 25 lb. tank, this refrigerant is well-suited for service technicians performing R-22 retrofits without the need for complete system overhauls.
Key Features
