R-444A Retrofit Demo
Key Highlights
- R-444A has a GWP of less than 150, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to R-1234yf.
- The retrofit process is compatible with all R-1234yf system components and lubricants, simplifying upgrades.
- Lab data indicates R-444A cools cabin air up to 4 minutes faster and achieves temperatures approximately 2°C colder than R-1234yf.
- Using R-444A can improve vehicle energy efficiency, leading to increased EV driving range and better fuel economy.
- Orbia's demonstration at AAPEX showcases the practical benefits and performance enhancements of the R-444A retrofit.
Learn how to retrofit a vehicle to service A/C refrigerant R-1234yf to next-generation, low-GWP refrigerant, Klea Edge 444A.
R-444A was developed as a direct replacement for R-1234yf. Developed by Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials, a global leader in the development of mobile HVAC refrigerants such as R-134a, this refrigerant provides improved cooling performance and energy efficiency that translates into improved EV driving range and fuel economy. It features a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 150, and it is compatible with all R-1234yf system components and lubricants. Lab data shows R-444A cools cabin air up to 4 minutes faster and reaches temperatures approximately 2°C colder than R-1234yf.
