Specification of Freon AC R290
R290 AC Freon
R290, also known as CARE® 40, is a propane class, natural, or "not in form" refrigerant, suitable for cooling and air conditioning applications. The use of R290 increases due to low environmental impact and excellent thermodynamic performance. This is non-toxic with zero ODP (Ozone Reduction Potential) and very low GWP (Global Warming Potential). This is a flammable refrigerant and is therefore not suitable for retrofitting existing fluorocarbon refrigerant systems.
