Refrigerant RX4

[Radiohead]

Hi all,
just thought i`d try and see if anyone could help,
have been lookin at a low temp freezer cabinet
holding at -40c, marked as running on refrigerant "RX4"
prob a trade name but no luck so far in tracking it.
compressor is a hermitic marked for R507 on ester, system is on capillary line.
Any thoughts would be welcome:confused:

Hi Radiohead.

I remember rx4 from about 14 years ago.We retrofitted a -80 test chamber for developing diesel engines that had been running on r13b1.

Rx4 was a trade name and if i remember right,it was just as dangerous as the gas it was replacing and has also probably been phased out.

As you said,there is no data to be found on the internet and the engineer i did the retrofit with died so i cant ask him.

You can try MO89 is replacement for 13B1
I have seen this in a freeze drier in the states made by Virtis, system running -65c single stage system with cap tube

Hi Viking, got your reported post, thanks.

I did a Google search on the characters posted and found the same on numerous boards/forums with the poster banned.

Best to ignore it and wait for a Mod to delete them. :)
