R600a refrigerant for modern domestic refrigeration

R600a, also known as isobutane, is used in a large share of modern household fridges and freezers. The rating plate on these appliances shows the refrigerant type, and the systems hold only a small charge, so accurate weighing matters. R600a is highly flammable, which means leak testing, brazing and charging all need hydrocarbon rated tools and a well ventilated workspace with no ignition sources nearby. Charging the wrong gas or mixing refrigerants can damage a compressor and leave the appliance cooling poorly.

Questions about this part

Can I regas my own fridge with this?

No. Opening and charging a fridge's sealed system requires an appropriately licensed refrigeration technician, the right tools and hydrocarbon safety training. If your fridge has stopped cooling, book a licensed technician to diagnose the fault before any gas is added.
