Description
Freon R508B is a high-performance ultra-low temperature refrigerant designed for specialized refrigeration systems that require extremely low operating temperatures. This refrigerant is an azeotropic blend of R23 and R116, engineered to provide reliable cooling performance in cryogenic and ultra-low temperature applications.
R508B is widely used in cascade refrigeration systems, where it functions as the low-temperature stage refrigerant. It is capable of maintaining temperatures as low as –80°C and below, making it ideal for equipment that requires precise and stable ultra-cold environments.
This refrigerant is commonly used in laboratory freezers, environmental test chambers, biomedical refrigeration equipment, freeze dryers, and cryogenic systems. Its excellent thermodynamic properties allow it to operate efficiently while maintaining low discharge temperatures, helping extend compressor life and improve system reliability.
Freon R508B contains no ozone-depleting substances, giving it an ODP of zero and meeting international environmental standards for refrigeration systems.
With its stable chemical composition and A1 safety classification (non-flammable and low toxicity), R508B is a trusted solution for industries requiring reliable ultra-low temperature refrigeration performance.
