MINUS30-9KG HyChill Minus 30 Refrigerant 9kg, R436 Type Hydrocarbon Replacement for R12 and R134a, Formerly HR12

MINUS30-9KG is HyChill Minus 30 refrigerant in a 9kg size. HyChill sold it as HR12 before the name change. It's an R436 type hydrocarbon refrigerant designed to replace R12 and R134a, so it suits domestic fridges, freezers and other small systems that originally ran on those gases, in the hands of a licensed technician.

Where HyChill Minus 30 is used

Minus 30 is HyChill's replacement for R12 and R134a, making it an option when servicing or converting systems built for those gases. As an R436 type blend it's a hydrocarbon, which means it is flammable and has to be handled to the rules for flammable refrigerants. Hydrocarbon charges are not the same weight as the R12 or R134a charge shown on the rating plate, so follow HyChill's charging guidance rather than the figure on the plate. Label the system clearly once it's been converted so the next technician knows what gas is in it.
