The simple answer is that an R12 system wasn't designed for R22. There are different pressures reached, there are different compressor oils used, and R22 may not even be compatible with a compressor designed for R12. Changing an R12 system to R22 could be done, but it would require extensive conversion, and would still be undesirable - R22 is being phased out, largely because it's a carcinogen and because of the harsh environmental effects.
No
No. R12 systems are designed for R12. The lubricating oil for 134a is synthetic and will attack the o-rings in a R12 system. I think the operating pressures are also different.Samething is now happening to residential ACs. R22 is out and 410 is in.They are not compatible.SOL
There are kits to do this, but I don't recommend it.
You cAnt sorry
No it's not. R22 is designed for use in home HVAC systems where as R12 is intended for automotive systems. Using R22 in an automobile will cause swelling of seals and hoses, possible compressor failure due to different running pressures.

It is not recommended.
R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF (hydrogen fluoride). R22 (chlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF as well. Both reactions can occur under high temperature or in the presence of a catalyst.
R-12..........
No. The entire cooling system is designed to use a specific refrigerant. To change any one component would throw every thing off.
No R134a is used only the cars, and R22 is only used for home central ac system. If you would like more information about R134a you can log on to www.idqusa.com.
