NOTES
R404A/R507 Notes

Operating limits Conversion factor for 60 Hz = 1.2

Compressor operation is possible within the limits shown on the Performance data for other operating points, see GEA VAP software
application diagrams. Please note the colored areas. Compressor (vap.gea.com).
application limits should not be chosen for design purposes or
continuous operation. ASERCOM certified performance data

Restrictions to operating limits may occur when using a frequency

Performance data
The performance data for R404A/R507 are based on European
Standard EN 12900 with a 50 Hz power supply frequency.
This signifies: 20 °C suction gas temperature without liquid subcooling.
This leads to significant differences compared to systems with liquid
subcooling and/or other suction gas temperatures.
Performance data were compiled for R404A and R507.
The base values are the data for R404A.
For compressors with this label, the performance data are certified
according to the strict requirements of ASERCOM.
ASERCOM is the Association of European Refrigeration Compressors
and Controls Manufacturers.
Information about the Association and the constantly updated
overview of certified GEA compressors can be found at
