Refrigerant data
| Gas | Classification | Suction pressure | Discharge pressure | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R134a | HFC (A1) | 80-140 kPa at -5 degrees C evaporating | 900-1 200 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Wine cellars, display cabinets, medium-temperature commercial refrigeration and some heat pumps. |
| R404A | HFC blend (near-azeotropic) | 40-60 kPa (approx. 2-4 bar) | 1500-1900 kPa | Older commercial ice machines, cube makers, ice bins and blast chillers |
| R448A | HFO/HFC blend (low GWP) | 50-75 kPa | 1600-2000 kPa | Modern commercial ice machines, cube and flake units, coldroom retrofits |
Common questions
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
There is water on the floor under my ice machine, can you find the leak?
We trace it wet rather than guessing: inlet valve weep, split distribution tube, blocked machine drain or a backed-up bin drain all present the same way. The water side is pressure-tested before we recommission.
How urgent is a slow harvest cycle?
Treat it as urgent. A stalling harvest leaves the plate frozen solid, output collapses and the compressor runs against high head pressure, which is how a cheap solenoid fault turns into a compressor replacement.
How fast can you get to me?
Emergency callouts are dispatched to the next available technician, with the arrival window confirmed by SMS when the vehicle leaves.
