Chemours R-417A: A Cost-Effective Retrofit for R-22 in AC and Refrigeration


Chemours R-417A (Freonā„¢ MO59) is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant designed as a cost-effective replacement for R-22 in direct expansion (DX) stationary air conditioning (AC) and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems. Its compatibility with mineral (MO), alkylbenzene (AB), and polyol ester (POE) oils eliminates the need for lubricant changes, making retrofitting faster and more economical.

Applications of R-417A

  • Residential and Commercial AC Systems
  • Medium-Temperature Refrigeration Units
  • Food service, storage, and processing equipment
  • Supermarket display cases

For water chillers, Chemours R-422D (MO29) is recommended as a better option.

Key Features and Benefits of R-417A

  1. Easy Retrofitting : No lubricant change required in most cases, saving time and costs during conversion from R-22.
  2. Safe and Eco-Friendly : Nonflammable and non-ozone-depleting, with an ASHRAE A1 safety classification.
  3. Prolongs Equipment Life : Reduces discharge temperature and pressure compared to R-22, extending compressor lifespan.
  4. Energy Efficiency : Offers potential energy savings in certain systems.
  5. Simple Maintenance : Once retrofitted, systems can be topped off with R-417A without additional adjustments.
