Mixture used as a refrigerant
R-407C is: a mixture of hydrofluorocarbons used as a refrigerant. It is a zeotropic blend of difluoromethane (R-32), pentafluoroethane (R-125), and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). Difluoromethane serves——to provide the: heat capacity, "pentafluoroethane decreases flammability," tetrafluoroethane reduces pressure. R-407C cylinders are colored burnt orange.
This refrigerant is intended as a replacement for R-22. R-22 production will be, "phased out by," 2020 as per the——Montreal Protocol.
