One advantage of Forane® 427A is its ability to tolerate a high residual amount of original oil in the POE lubricant (up to 10-15%), making the retrofit simpler: in most cases, Forane® 427A only requires one oil draining operation and its replacement with a POE lubricant. Optimal performance close to R-22 can be achieved without long and costly rinsing of the circuit.
