Why did they change to r410a refrigerant?
R410A refrigerant was introduced to replace R22, as R22 is ozone-depleting and harmful to the environment. R410A is a more environmentally friendly alternative with zero ozone depletion potential.
Is R410a freon compatible with R22?
No
Can a R410A evaporator be used with a R22 condensor?
No, R410a runs higher pressures.
Can a R410A condensor be used with a R22 evaporator coil?
No, R410a runs higher pressures.
Can you use a r410a condenser brand new with a r22 air handler brand new?
No. r410a runs at a much higher pressure.
What licence do you need to buy r-22 or r410a refrigerant?
R22 needs import license,R410A does not need anything special
Which refrigerant has the lowest condensing temperature R12 or R22 or R500 or R410a?
R-12..........
Can you mix r22 freon with R410a in a heat pump?
No , they operate at different pressures and are not compatible.
What are the correct pressures for R410a?
The pressure for an R410a air conditioner system should be 118psi LP and 412psi HP. This is the same pressure as an R22 air conditioner.
Who can buy home refrigerant for the air conditioner?
short answer: Only people with and EPA certification may purchase R22 and/or R410A refrigerants.
How much R410 a freone does it take to contaminate a R22 freone system?
Any amount would be a contamination. Charging with clean R410a does not introduce POA oil, which is where a serious contamination would occur. Mixing R410a without oil will simply render that amount of charge in your system as ineffective. To answer the question how much contaminates, it could be seen on a sliding scale, a very small amount, say a couple ounces, probably will not see a noticeable change. A pound, and you would likely notice some changes in performance related to temps. of evaporator as well as the amount of liquid refrigerant its producing to send to the evaporator. As you increase the ratio of R410a to R22, you would only see incrementally worse performance as the compressor is not producing the pressure required to get any use of R410a. If you had somehow introduced R410a with its oil, their would be a serious reason to pull the entire charge, flush the system, and start clean. The oils of R22 and R410a are %100 not mixable, they will be rendered useless, and system damage will occur shortly.
Can you use a condensor designed for R22 with an evaporator designed for R410A?
It depends on what you want to do with the sytem. If it is and older condensor contact the supplier and ask for specifications on what the condensor does in 410A. It only depends on the different pressures in the system en the condensoing capacity at R410A.
