Klea® 508A
Klea® 508A (R-508A) ultra-low temp refrigerant
Overview
Klea® 508A refrigerant is a non-ozone-depleting HFC blend designed for ultra-low-temperature refrigeration systems. It’s typically used in scientific, medical, and industrial applications that require very low temperatures — for example, −80 °C laboratory freezers.
Applications
- Environmental test chambers and ultra-low temperature freezers
- Freeze-drying equipment in food or pharmaceutical industries
- Medical freezers and blood storage
Key benefits
- A1 safety classification – non-flammable, ASHRAE A1 rated for global regulatory confidence
- Stable performance – in cascade refrigeration systems for precise ultra-low temperature control
- Lower compressor discharge temperature – compared to individual components like R-23
- Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0)
Klea® 508A can be used in new equipment or to retrofit existing systems. For those seeking a reduced GWP, Klea® 473A is designed as a near drop-in replacement for R-508A in cascade refrigeration systems.
