Opteon™ XP10 (R-513A) Refrigerant
A Next-Generation R-134a Refrigerant Alternative
Opteon™ XP10 (R-513A) refrigerant is a non-ozone depleting potential (ODP), low global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) based replacement for R-134a.
Opteon™ XP10 offers an excellent capacity and efficiency match for R-134a in new and retrofitted systems, and an optimal balance of properties, including high performance, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
Many diverse applications use Opteon™ XP10. The most common are chillers and commercial refrigeration equipment, including:
Medium-temperature commercial and industrial direct-expansion (DX) refrigeration
Medium-temperature circuits of hybrid cascade systems
Water chillers, air conditioning, and heat pumps
Centrifugal chillers
Direct-expansion (DX) chillers
Ice rink systems
