 Suva Refrgerants, tropic supply
Service refrigerants, such as Suva® MP39 and Suva® HP80, make good sense because they offer proven performance, are easy to use, result in a low-cost retrofit, and will be available longer than the expected service life of most equipment.
Retrofitting to an HFC refrigerant such as Suva® 134a or Suva® HP62 is more expensive and more involved than retrofitting to a service refrigerant (Suva® MP39, Suva® HP80...), primarily because an HFC retrofit requires conversion to a polyol ester (POE) lubricant, and three or more lubricant flushes may be needed.
However, HFC refrigerants are not scheduled for phaseout, which makes their use especially cost-effective in equipment expected to last 20 years or longer.
