R404A
These units use R404A. This refrigerant is
classified as a Hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC) because
it contains hydrogen fluorine and carbon. It does
not contain chlorine.
Unit Identification
Units charged with R404A are identified by the
following methods:
1. R404A will be stamped on the unit’s serial
plate.
2. Decals will be applied to unit as shown below:
Figure 218: R404A Decal
Availability
R404A is available from wholesalers. The price
will depend upon the quantity purchased. Thirty
(30), 50 and 125 containers are available.
Leak Detection
Leaks can be detected by an electronic leak
detector such as the G.E. H10G or a portable leak
detector (see Tool Catalog). See Truck and Trailer
Service Bulletin T&T 048 for additional details.
Compressor Oil
Thermo King Corporation has chosen to use a
compressor oil called Polyol Ester (POE)—also
called ester based oil. POE oil is compatible with
R404A and can be used in low temperature
applications. This oil is available from service
parts (P/N 203-516).
Required for Scroll
compressors.
Compressors Shipped with POE Oil
Thermo King Scroll compressors are charged with
Polyol Ester oil (POE). All gauge fittings are
1/4 inch fittings.
Because Polyol Ester has an affinity for moisture,
it must be kept in capped containers. In addition,
it should be added as the last step in system repair.
Rubber gloves are recommended when handling
Polyol Ester because it may cause skin irritation.
Equipment Recommendations For
Use With R404A
Dedicated Equipment
Vacuum Pumps
When evacuating, a two stage, five to seven CFM
pump is recommended. It is also recommended
that dry nitrogen be used first. Ideally, a new
vacuum pump should be used and dedicated for
use with R404A systems because residual
refrigerants may remain in used vacuum pumps.
Pumps used with other Thermo King refrigerants
may be used but extreme care should be taken to
prevent contamination of R404A systems with
other refrigerants.
The Thermo King Evacuation Station is
recommended. This station is available from
service parts (see Tool Catalog). See Truck and
Trailer Service Bulletin T&T 061 for additional
details.
Use only recommended vacuum pump oils and
change oil after every major evacuation. Vacuum
pump oils are highly refined and the use of
contaminated oils will prevent the desired vacuum
from being obtained. Failure to follow these
recommendations may result in conditions that
will destroy the vacuum pump.
AEA648
CAUTION: POLYOL ESTER (POE) IS
THE ONLY OIL FOR USE WITH
THERMO KING UNITS USING R404A.
IT SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH
ANY OTHER TYPE.
CAUTION: Equipment that has been used
with other refrigerants MUST NOT be
used with R404A refrigerants. Mixing
R404A with other refrigerants will cause
contamination of the refrigerant. Using
contaminated refrigerant will cause
system failure.
