R-600a

Pure
GWP: 3
ODP: 0
Safety Class: A3

Natural refrigerant common in domestic refrigerators. Lower working pressure than R-290. Charge limits apply per IEC 60335-2-89.

A3 HIGHLY FLAMMABLE - Safety Warning

  • ASHRAE 34 Classification: A3 - Non-toxic but HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
  • Maximum charge limits: 150g (sealed systems) per IEC 60335-2-89
  • Use only explosion-proof equipment and tools
  • Work in well-ventilated areas - gas is heavier than air
  • No open flames, sparks, or hot surfaces during service
  • Use hydrocarbon-rated recovery equipment and leak detectors
  • Most domestic refrigerators contain 50-100g charge
Flammability Range: LEL 1.8% - UEL 8.4% in air
