DARTMOUTH, NS, Canada — Refrigerant Services Inc. has announced that its HFC refrigerant RS-24 that works with mineral oil has received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP).
The refrigerant is used as a retrofit for systems originally designed for use with R-12. Its makeup includes “a small amount of a specially formulated hydrocarbon component that provides enhanced oil return capabilities,” according to the company.
