Shipping Method: Classified as Non-Flammable Gas (Class 2.2). Important: Always charge in the liquid phase to ensure the correct blend ratio enters the system
Market Insight: In Nigeria, R-404A is the “gold standard” for the frozen food industry and cold chain logistics. This is a reliable choice for Cold Room owners and Frozen Food distributors in Lagos and across Nigeria who cannot afford system failures due to low-quality gas.
Tech Tip: Remember R-404A is a blend, you should always flip the cylinder upside down (liquid charging) when filling a system to prevent “fractionation,” which can lead to poor cooling performance.
