In the world of Commercial HVAC services, SBS-NC, LLC is a name you can trust. Based in Greensboro, NC, and serving the larger Southeastern US region, we specialize in a broad range of services, including HVAC refrigerant retrofits. One key aspect of our work revolves around the use of Mo99 refrigerant, also known as R-438A or Freon™ MO99™.
Mo99 is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant, which acts as an effective replacement for the hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant R-22. As we transition towards more environmentally-friendly options, the phase-out of R-22 has become necessary due to its ozone-depleting potential and high global warming potential. In contrast, Mo99 has zero ozone-depleting potential and a significantly lower global warming potential, making it an excellent choice for retrofit projects.
One of the major advantages of Mo99 refrigerant is its compatibility with all types of lubricants used in R-22 systems, including mineral oil, alkylbenzene oil, and polyolester oil. This compatibility eliminates the need for an oil change during system retrofitting, simplifying the process and reducing associated costs.
Additionally, Mo99 offers a close performance match to R-22, with similar capacity, efficiency, pressure, and temperature characteristics. This ensures minimal changes in system performance and operation, further reinforcing its suitability for a variety of R-22 systems, such as residential and commercial air conditioning systems, low and medium-temperature refrigeration systems, heat pumps, and chillers.
While Mo99 is a promising refrigerant, our expert team at SBS-NC, LLC in Greensboro acknowledges its potential drawbacks. These include higher costs and discharge temperatures compared to other HFC refrigerants and somewhat limited availability in certain regions. Despite these concerns, proper lubrication and cooling can mitigate the impact of higher discharge temperatures on the compressor's lifespan.
