What is the cooling capacity of the Bitzer 8GE-60Y?

Running on R404A, the Bitzer 8GE-60Y delivers 0.09 kW at MT, 0.11 kW at HT. Use the Benchmark tool to evaluate capacity at your exact SST/SDT and superheat conditions.

Can the Bitzer 8GE-60Y be retrofit to a lower-GWP refrigerant under EU F-Gas Regulation 2024/573?

Open the F-Gas Retrofit tool with this model pre-selected to see drop-in alternatives ranked by capacity match, COP, GWP, PFAS impact, and 2026/2030/2035 phase-out timeline.

What polynomial standard is the Bitzer 8GE-60Y performance data based on?

Capacity, power, and current polynomials follow EN 12900 (10-coefficient bivariate in SST/SDT) for European-origin brands and AHRI 540 for North American brands. Coefficients are normalized into a common form for cross-brand comparison. Fit your own data in the Polynomial Fitter tool.
