What is Maxi-Frig?
Maxi-Frig are refrigerants that
were developed as an effective replacement for non-ozone-depleting substitutes
for CFC-12 (Freon), CHFC-22 and R502. They have a zero ozone-depletion-potential
(ODP) and a negligible global-warming-potential (GWP), which makes it
the most environmentally sound refrigerant on earth.
Does Maxi-Frig
Require Retrofitting?
NO! It is a
direct drop-in replacement. It requires no retrofitting or redesigning
of a refrigeration system because it is completely compatible with all
the materials and oils (mineral or synthetic) in all systems.
The savings can be enormous!
How
Efficient is Maxi-Frig?
Extremely. It is up to 30%
more efficient than Freon, and far more efficient than HFC-134a.
This means less wear on your refrigeration system, substantial energy
savings, and reduced fuel costs.
How
is Maxi-Frig Installed?
There are no new procedures to
learn! The same gauges are used, and refrigeration systems are
charged in the same manner used with the refrigerant being replaced.
Maxi-Frig is completely compatible with the synthetic oil used with
HFC-134a and the organic oils in CFC-12 systems. No flushing or
oil changes are required.

Does Maxi-Frig
Offer Other Benefits?
Yes! Many.
Maxi-Frig, unlike other new refrigerants, does not become caustic when
exposed to moisture or oxygen and is therefore not corrosive to the
aluminum parts in today's systems.
Maxi-Frig refrigerants are better conductors of heat, require less energy
to compress, have lower operating temperatures increasing compressor life.
Maxi-Frig refrigerants operate at normal low head pressures, advantageously
paralleling R12, while with other new refrigerants the head pressure
is generally noticeably higher.
Maxi-Frig refrigerants are more soluble, absorbing oil better resulting
in better lubrication than other refrigerants.
Maxi-Frig refrigerants produce negligible copper plating and coke formation
on valves, and extremely low chemical breakdown.
Maxi-Frig and EPA Regulations?
EPA'a Final Rule, published April 1, 1994 states:
In this final rule, the Agency has determined that second-generation replacements, if they are non-ozone depleting and are replacing non-ozone depleting first generation alternatives, are exempt from reporting requirements under section 612.
Is
Maxi-Frig Guaranteed?
Maxi-Frig is guaranteed to perform
as an efficient refrigerant in all systems and are not to harm any refrigeration
system components or other related mechanical equipment if installed
and used according to factory directions.
