Summary

R404A will be soon restricted from usage in commercial refrigeration in the European Union (EU) due to the requirements of the EU Regulation on fluorinated gases. Therefore, new refrigerant HFO/HFC mixtures are being developed to replace it. This paper explores the R454C and R455A as R404A alternatives and compares the characteristics that can lead their imposition in the refrigeration market. The characteristics studied are components and composition, current penetration in the market, security issues, global warming potential, energetic performance, material and lubricant compatibility and, finally, most likely applications.
