HFC
- R23
Used in very
low temperature refrigeration systems, typically on the low
stage of a multi-stage system. Has properties similar to R-13
and can be used to replace R-13 in an
existing system. R-23 has higher discharge temperatures than R-13, however,
and equipment which is not designed to take this into account may suffer related
failures.
Polyol ester (POE) lubricants should be used, and it may still be necessary
to charge hydrocarbon oil additives to ensure proper oil return. Check with
OEM for specific oil and
charging recommendations.
