R-290 is refrigerant-grade propane (chemical formula C₃H₈), a natural, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant with a low GWP of 3 and zero ODP. Its primary characteristic is high flammability, which necessitates strict safety measures.

Key Characteristics & Considerations

  • Environmental Impact: R-290 is a "future-proof" option due to its extremely low GWP and zero ODP, making it a sustainable alternative to synthetic refrigerants like R-22 or R410A.
  • Efficiency: It offers excellent thermodynamic properties and high energy efficiency, which can lead to lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs. A lower refrigerant charge is needed compared to some other refrigerants to achieve the same cooling capacity.
  • Safety (Flammability): As an A3 classified refrigerant, R-290 is highly flammable and requires specific safety precautions, handling, and charging procedures. Regulations limit the maximum charge in certain applications, especially indoors or in publicly accessible areas.
  • Applications: It is used in domestic appliances (refrigerators, freezers), commercial refrigeration (display cases), and some light commercial air conditioning and heat pump systems designed specifically for hydrocarbon refrigerants.
  • Lubricant Compatibility: It is highly miscible with most lubricants, including mineral oils and alkylbenzene oils, though manufacturers' recommendations should always be followed.
