R-1234ze(E)/R-227ea (91.1/8.9)

Azeotropic blend (ASHRAE 500 series) of 91.1% R-1234ze(E) and 8.9% R-227ea by mass[6]. Sold as Solstice® N15 by Solstice Advanced Materials[9]. Safety class A1: lower toxicity, no flame propagation[5]. GWP 287 in EPA's reference table[7]; R-515A, with 12% R-227ea, comes to 387 under 40 CFR 84.64(b)[10]. Solstice Advanced Materials sells it as an R-134a replacement for chillers, food retail and data-center liquid cooling[9]; EPA's SNAP list for centrifugal chillers accepts it in new equipment[8].

R-515B saturation pressure is 22.2 PSIG at 40°F, 49.4 PSIG at 70°F, and 89.9 PSIG at 100°F. These are the gauge readings on a static, fully-saturated system; a running system's high side sits well above them. The full table below runs from −40°F to 150°F in 1°F steps.

Checked against the Technical Data Sheet Solstice® N15 (R-515B), DS-21-12-EN (04/21)[11] at 16 points from 0°F to 150°F: largest difference 0.17°F.

What is R-515B?

R-515A and R-515B are both azeotropic R-1234ze(E)/R-227ea blends; R-515B has 8.9% R-227ea against R-515A's 12%[6], which lowers the GWP from 387 to 287, about 26%[10][7].

It is an azeotrope: the computed glide is under 0.1°F at a 40°F dew point[4], so the table shows one column.

Where R-515B is used

  • New centrifugal chillers (EPA SNAP: acceptable)[8]
  • Medium- and high-temperature commercial refrigeration[11]
  • Heat pumps[11]

Regulatory & phase-down status

R-515B's GWP of 287 is below the 700-GWP limit for comfort-cooling chillers (40 CFR 84.54(a)(10)(i), (c)(3)), so it remains permitted for new equipment in that category.[12], §84.54(a)(10)(i), (c)(3) Its GWP is above the 150 limit in rows 11 and 13 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, since replaced by (EU) 2024/573, applying from March 11, 2024[13].

Phase-down timeline

R-515B contains HFC-227ea, a regulated substance under the AIM Act[1], 42 U.S.C. 7675(c)(1). Its GWP under 40 CFR 84.64 is 287, at or above the limit in 17 of the categories 40 CFR 84.54 restricts (listed under “All 84.54 categories restricting R-515B”).

R-515B is not restricted in new chillers (its 84.64 GWP 287 is below that subsector's limit).[12], §84.54(a)(10)(i), (a)(10)(iii), (a)(10)(iv), (c)(3), (c)(5), (c)(6)

HFC production & consumption allowances step down to 30% of baseline in 2029–2033, 20% of baseline in 2034–2035, and 15% of baseline in 2036 and later (42 U.S.C. 7675(e)(2)(C))[1].

Full 40 CFR 84.54 new-equipment rules for R-515B →

US new-equipment rules (40 CFR 84.54)

R-515B contains HFC-227ea, a regulated substance under the AIM Act[1], 42 U.S.C. 7675(c)(1). Under 40 CFR 84.64(b) its GWP is 287: each component's GWP times its mass fraction; components without a GWP under 84.64 are left out (84.64(c)). That value is compared against each 40 CFR 84.54 subsector limit below.

Its GWP (287) is under every 40 CFR 84.54 limit for chillers, so those restrictions don't apply there.

  • Not restricted in new chillers.

Servicing. 40 CFR 84.54 restricts new manufacture/import, later sale/distribution, and installation. "Installation" is defined in 84.54(e); repairing or servicing existing R-515B equipment is not an installation unless it meets 84.54(e), so existing systems can keep being serviced. From January 1, 2029, servicing or repairing R-515B equipment in supermarket systems, refrigerated transport or automatic commercial ice makers must be done with reclaimed refrigerant[3].

Frequently asked

›Why choose R-515B over R-515A?

Its GWP is lower — 287 against 387[7][10] — and both are A1[5].

›Can R-515B be used in equipment originally designed for R-134a?

Honeywell's data sheet lists retrofits as well as new systems for replacing R-134a[11]; EPA's SNAP listing for centrifugal chillers covers new equipment only[8]. The data sheet recommends POE oil[11].

›What's the temperature glide of R-515B?

Under 0.1°F at a 40°F dew point, computed with CoolProp 8.0.0[4]; Honeywell's data sheet describes it as zero-glide[11].

›What is the GWP of R-515B?

287 in EPA's reference table[7] — R-1234ze(E) (1) at 91.1% and R-227ea (3,220) at 8.9%, mass-weighted under 40 CFR 84.64(b)[10]. R-227ea is 8.9% of the mass but about 99.7% of the GWP: 0.089 × 3,220 = 286.6 of 287.5[10].

›Why does R-515B have R-227ea at all?

Pure R-1234ze(E) is A2L (lower flammability), while R-515B is A1[5].

Reference material. Always verify pressure values against the equipment data plate and manufacturer service literature before charging or troubleshooting a specific system. Saturation pressure differs from operating pressure — see superheat & subcooling fundamentals. See how this PT table is calculated and independently checked in our methodology.
