Can 422b be mixed with R22?

Mixing R22 with R407C or any other refrigerant. According to the 609 EPA rule, mixing refrigerants is illegal and anybody caught doing so will be heavily fined. If your system is running on R22 most likely is using mineral oil to lubricate the compressor.

What is R22 refrigerant being replaced with?

At this point, R22 will no longer be manufactured and cannot be used as a refrigerant in new air conditioning systems. R22 is being replaced by R-410A, a safer material which is the current, compliant standard refrigerant in air conditioning equipment.

Can I use 407c instead of R22?

The best replacement for R-22 Freon is usually R-407c. It has a very low loss in capacity (0 – 5%) relative to R-22 and is less expensive than many other R-22 replacement refrigerants. If a system has R22 in it already you cannot use a replacement refrigerant to simply add to the R22.

Why is R-22 Freon so expensive?

Why is the Cost of Freon So Expensive? R-22 is increasing in price because it is being phased out by the Environmental Protection Agency. The percentage of R-22 produced is decreasing annually until there it a complete ban from production in 2020. As the supply decreases, the retail price increases.

What type of Freon replaces R22?

R-410A refrigerant, mostly referred as Puron was invented in 1991by Honeywell as an alternative for R22 (Freon 22) in residential and commercial air conditioners. R-410A is stored in pink cylinders. Discussing what is the replacement for R22 we should also say that R-410A can’t be used to retrofit the older refrigeration systems.

What refrigerant is being used to replace R22?

So let’s see what is the replacement for R22 refrigerant which can be used with the air conditioning compressor and with flooded evaporators. R-410A is the replacement for R22. It is known as Suva 410A, Puron, Genetron R410A, AZ-20, Forane 410A and EcoFluor R410.

What is the R22 refrigerant being replaced with?

As we mentioned above, R22 refrigerant is being replaced by a refrigerant called R410a. Unlike R22, the use and manufacturing of R410a does not deplete the ozone layer. However, cooling systems that currently use R22 refrigerant cannot operate with R410a.
