Have read in one of the trade mags that its been tried in a few supermarket systems and worked well.
Thinking about giving it a try in some milk cooling systems as a few have low and high temp evaps on same units, so would need a low temp drop in to run the icebank and then a high temp one to run the tank, this sounds like it will cover both.

Hi friends ,

Can R407F can be used in systems which were earlier designed for R22(which are presently in operation with R22) ?

Thanks for your cooperation.
