Yes you can.............
1 tonn used in air conditioning means 1 ton refrigerant used in air conditioning, so 1 ton refrigerant is same 12000 BTU
All air conditioning units use Freon, a chemical that when circulated helps to keep air cool. The kind of freon used in both devices is not the same, and chemical solutions with different amounts of each are needed to get the job done.
The same reason rifles come in different sizes. Smaller gauges generally have less recoil, throw a smaller pattern, and some people just prefer different sizes.
Refrigerant compatibility refers to different types of refrigerant being compatible. Not all air conditioners use the same type of refrigerant and not all refrigerants are compatible in every air conditioner.
1cm same as your ******
the mixture may be impossible to reclaim
Same thing, R stands for Refrigerant.
Almost certainly not. The writeup talks about the different gauges but says nothing about interchangeability of gauges and that would be most unusual and worthy of note.
Heating, ventilating, air conditioning systems (HVAC) most often use a refrigerant for cooling and a furnace or heat pump for heating. Both heating and cooling are directed through the same ventilation network.
Evaporation is the primary principle. The three primary components of most residential air conditioners are: # Compressor # Condenser # Evaporator As the refrigerant is compressed in the compressor, lowering the temperatures required to change from liquid to gas and gas to liquid. This is an exothermic, or heat generating, process. The compressed refrigerant, still under pressure, passes through the condenser. For residential systems, this is the "fan in a box" part of the air conditioning system outside. The condenser is actually blowing heat away from the refrigerant. Because the refrigerant is pressurized, the temperature is low enough for the refrigerant to turn liquid. The evaporator is where the cooling actually happens. When the pressure is reduced, the refrigerant evaporates; it turns from liquid to gas. Evaporation is an endothermic, or heat absorbing, process. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air around it. This leaves the air around the evaporator much cooler and ready to be blown into the house. (Most refrigerators operate using the same process.)
No.
There is a split air conditioner and there is a multi-zone split air conditioner. Multi zone means that you can have two condensers in different areas.
