Frequently asked questions

What refrigerants does the Bitzer OSHA7472-K support?

The Bitzer OSHA7472-K is qualified for R717. The table above lists capacity at ultra-low, low, medium and high temperature duty for each refrigerant, with the evaporating and condensing temperature each value was calculated at. Those conditions differ by refrigerant, so read them per row.

What is the cooling capacity of the Bitzer OSHA7472-K?

Running on R717, the Bitzer OSHA7472-K delivers 170.97 kW at HT (-5 / 45 °C). These are calculated cooling capacities at the rating basis the manufacturer declares with its data, not measured values. Use the Benchmark tool to evaluate capacity at your exact SST/SDT and superheat conditions.

Can the Bitzer OSHA7472-K 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.

Where does the Bitzer OSHA7472-K performance data come from?

From Bitzer's own published performance data, evaluated at the suction and liquid conditions the manufacturer declares with it. Which rating standard the manufacturer certifies to (EN 12900 or AHRI 540) is not stated on this page; check the manufacturer's datasheet. Fit your own data in the Polynomial Fitter tool.
