Refrigerant gas R404A Description
- R-404A began seeing usage in 1996 after the phase out of CFC R-502 due to it's Ozone Depletion Potential.
- R-404A is a ternary refrigerant blend consisting of the HFC R-125 (forty-four percent), HFC R-143a (fifty-two percent), and HFC R-134a (four percent).
- R-404A is used across a variety of low and medium temperature applications including super market freezers/refrigerators, vending machines, ice machines, refrigerated transport, and industrial refrigerant systems.
- R-404A is non toxic and non flammable and has an A1 rating from ASHRAE. Note that if 404A is pressurized after being mixed with air the chance of flammability increases. You should never mix 404A with air under.
- R-404A is heavier then air and will displace oxygen in a room if a large enough quantity is leaked. This can be said for various types of refrigerants though and is not unique to 404A.

How to storage refrigerant ?
Refrigerant is hazardous and can be flammable depending on the type you are dealing with. The storage of refrigerant should be taken seriously and with consideration. No matter what type of refrigerant you are dealing with you need to take the proper steps and precautions. Below are a few instrumental points to review when storing your Refrigerant :
-Ensure that all cylinders be stored up right and are without risk of tipping over.
-Refrigerant should be stored in a well ventilated area and temperatures should NOT exceed over 125 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperate becomes too hot pressure can build inside the container which could cause the container to rupture. This could cause the release valve to fail which could result in an explosion of the product.
-Ensure all Refrigerant containers/cylinders have pressure release devices to avoid combustion and or explosions.
-Ideally cylinders should be inspected for pressure release valves soon after you receive the product. This will allow you to catch a problem right away and give you time to get back to your supplier.
-Ensure there are no combustible or flammable materials nearby the containers.
-NO SMOKING next to containers.
-Perform regular visual inspections of your cylinders to ensure that everything is in good order.
-Limit the number of people who have access to your Refrigerant , as the more people who have access the higher your chance of an incident. Also, please keep out of reach of children. Refrigerant can be dangerous, or it can be very safe. It is up to you to take the per-cautions when storing your product.
