Saturation Pressure

How This Was Calculated

Saturation pressure interpolated from ASHRAE tabular data for R407C. Normal operating pressure range.

Important Considerations

🔬Superheat & Subcooling Diagnostic

The saturation pressure shown (for R407C at 10°F) is the baseline for measuring superheat and subcooling. Suction superheat = suction line temperature minus evaporator saturation temperature. Subcooling = condensing saturation temperature minus liquid line temperature. Typical targets: 8–12°F superheat at the evaporator (TXV systems), 10–20°F subcooling at the condenser. Deviations indicate improper charge, metering device issues, or non-condensables.

🛡️Safety Classification

R407C — consult ASHRAE Standard 34 and manufacturer safety data sheet for handling requirements. EPA Section 608 certification is required for purchase and handling.

🌍Environmental Impact — Moderate GWP

R407C has a GWP of 1,774 — meaning 1 lb released equals 1,774 lbs of CO2 equivalent warming over 100 years. It falls under AIM Act HFC phase-down regulations but is considered a transitional refrigerant with lower impact than legacy options like R-22 or R-404A. Lower-GWP alternatives (R-32 at GWP 675, R-454B at GWP 466) are increasingly available for new equipment.

📖 Data Source

Saturation pressure-temperature data for R407C derived from ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, Chapter 30 (Thermophysical Properties of Refrigerants), and verified against manufacturer published data (Chemours Opteon, Honeywell Solstice). Values represent saturated conditions at sea level.
