R-513A 30lb Refrigerant – Eco-Friendly HVAC Solution

R-513A 30lb Refrigerant – Low-GWP Chiller Solution in Houston

Facility managers across Houston are under growing pressure to cut the environmental footprint of
their chiller plants without ripping out equipment that still runs fine. R-513A was built for exactly
that gap, and Refrigerants Center keeps 30 lb cylinders in stock for techs who need it now, not after
a freight delay.

This is a virgin, factory-sealed 30 lb cylinder of R-513A, an HFO/HFC blend engineered as a lower
global warming potential alternative to R-134a in medium- and high-temperature applications.

What R-513A Brings to a Chiller Retrofit

R-513A pairs R-1234yf with R-134a to cut global warming potential by roughly half compared to
straight R-134a, while keeping pressure-temperature behavior close enough for many systems to retrofit
without major component changes. It remains non-flammable (A1 safety classification), which matters
for indoor mechanical rooms and chiller plants where flammable A2L blends raise ventilation questions.

Where It Gets Used

Commercial chillers, supermarket refrigeration racks, and centrifugal or screw compressor systems
originally designed around R-134a are the primary candidates for R-513A conversion. Facility engineers
managing office towers, hospitals, and cold storage across the Houston area are increasingly specifying
it for sustainability-driven refrigerant transitions.

Refrigerants Center keeps this cylinder in stock at our Houston warehouse, with same-day and next-day local delivery routed through Sugar Land and Missouri City. Techs working across Pasadena and Baytown, Katy and Cypress, and Pearland and Friendswood order from us just as often, since one Houston-based supplier covers the whole metro without the wait times of national distributors. Because chiller retrofits are usually planned in advance, we can also arrange bulk delivery ahead of a scheduled shutdown.

Compliance Notes

All cylinders ship DOT-compliant and are sold in accordance with EPA Section 608/609 rules. Refrigerants Center verifies technician certification on regulated refrigerant orders before dispatch from our Houston warehouse. R-513A sales are restricted to certified technicians under the same Section 608
framework as other regulated HFC/HFO blends.
