Chemical property As with R22, the new refrigerant (R407C) is low in toxicity and chemically stable nonflammable refrigerant. However, because the specific gravity of vapor refrigerant is greater than that of air, leaked refrigerant in a closed room will accumulate at the bottom of the room and may cause hypoxia.

If it is not, check that the temperature difference between the outlet and inlet temperatures is between 3 and 5 ºC. A temperature difference of 6ºC or more indicates not enough water flow. Check for air pockets in the pipe, and make sure that the pump has the appropriate capacity for the circuit.
