No! Answer No, it will run at a much higher pressure and will probably blow your safety valve. Of course, the answer to your question regarding compatibility could be taken another way. There are mixtures on the market for automobiles with r-22 in them. Chemically it's not a problem, but the pressures are so much higher that to REPLACE r-12 with r-22 would be guaranteeing a system failure. Mixtures for cars with r-22 in them also have other (much lower pressure) components to help control the high pressure of the r-22. In fact, despite the inherent problems with MVAC (leaks and fractionization), mixtures of refrigerants offer more efficient utilization of the condenser and evaporator surface area. Each refrigerant has it's own 'sweet spot' pressure / temperature for condensation and vaporization If you are running a mixture of refrigerants, each will find it's own sweet spot in the condenser and evaporator, allowing for a number of sweet spots for each refrigerant. When you run one refrigerant, you will get basically one sweet spot per heat exchanger.

Can you mix r134a freon with r22 in a heatpump?
No
Is freon the same as R 22 and what is the price per pound for freon?
Freon is another commonly used name for refrigerant, which can include R22, R410, and R12. The price per pound depends on which type, and should be only installed or sold by a certified technician. In most countries, the release or use of refrigerant by uncertified individuals is illegal.
Substitute for r22?
r22a
Can freon cause corrosion?
Yes, freon can indeed cause corrosion. Freon leaks in vehicles can corrode surrounding parts and components in the car over time.
Will a heat pump heat without freon?
No.
Can r404-a freon be substitted for r22 freon?
NO
Is R410a freon compatible with R22?
No
Is r22 freon compatible with r 134a freon?
Is r-22 Freon compatible with r-134a freon?
Is r134 compatible with r22 freon?
No, the two cannot be blended.
IS R134a freon compatible with R404?
No. NEVER mix refrigerants or use any refrigerant other than what the system is intended to use.
Can you mix r22 freon with R410a in a heat pump?
No , they operate at different pressures and are not compatible.
How do you determine if charge is correct using R22?
the things that must be considered when charging the system with R22; R404;R134;R507;R406
Can you buy r22 freon from walmart?
Wal-Mart do not have r22 freon, this is a false ad.
How do you convert R12 freon to R22 freon?
You cAnt sorry
Can you mix R422D and r22 freon?
no.
Why r22 freon is not compatible with r410 freon?
Chemical composition and properties, different system pressures, different pressure/teperarature relationships in when they'll change states from liquid to vapor... you never mix refrigerants, period.
Can you mix r134a freon with r22 in a heatpump?
No
