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
Can a built-in Sub-Zero be repaired without removing the joinery in Waterfall Corner?
In most cases yes. The units are designed to be serviced from the front through the grille and toe panel; full de-racking is only needed for sealed system work.
Why is my cube ice machine making hollow or small cubes?
Hollow or undersized cubes almost always mean the plate is not being wetted evenly: a scaled evaporator, a weak water pump, or blocked distribution holes. We measure pump flow, descale the plate and re-time the freeze cycle so cubes come out at full weight against the data plate.
Can you work after trading hours?
Yes. Retail, restaurant and office work is routinely scheduled at night or early morning under a permit-to-work so trading is not interrupted.
