What replaced Freon?
R-410a
Is there toxic freon in air conditioning units?
Freon is not Toxic, but its not good to breath it or have extended contact with it on the skin. It is a controlled EPA substance. Some are Flammable and have other properties like 410A which is a mixed blend of Freon/Purion. Under pressure 410a is one liquid but outside of the system the Freon components separate and become to different chemicals.
Can you recover r-410a freon?
If you add 410A to a heat pump does it put out more heat or less?
What freon is used in home air conditioning?
r-22 (gentron), and r-410a (puron)
Which gas is filled in air conditioners?
The most common for vehicles are R-12 and R134a freon.......... The most common for homes are R-22 and R-410A freon..........
What kind of Freon does a home air conditioner use?
Most home systems use R-22 refrigerant. R-410a, known as PURON, is also an increasingly used refrigerant. If you see a pink sticker on the outdoor unit, it will say on the tag with the model and serial numbers r22 or 410a. "Freon" is a trademark of DuPont, and is NOT the real name of refrigerant. "Freon" was R12 and is no longer made.
Most common type of freon for homes?
R-22 currently, but is quickly being replaced by R-410A due to CFC issues
You are called in to service a R-410A unit which is low on charge. You know that it has been topped off before?

What is the question?
What type of freon would be used for a lennox ac unit r111-r134a or something else?
It depends on what year the unit was built. Most AC units for your Home used R-22. A new freon 410A is used in the newer systems. There has been a slow switch over from about mid 2005 until now but the EPA has banned AC units from being built with R-22 now so any unit you buy today will have the 410A.
What is the 410a operating pressure?
The 410a operating pressure is 7.037 Barg or 102.036 psig.
Which freon will leak from a smaller hole R-22 or R-410A?
The R-22 (chlorodifluoromethane), will leak from a smaller hole than R-410A will. Sort of. Now that we've answered the question, it's time to state that R-410A is an azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane. And the difluoromethane component of the mixture is a smaller molecule than chlorodifluoromethane, which is what R-22 is. But the pentafluoroethane is a larger molecule than the chlorodifluoromethane (R-22). If molecular size is the sole determinate as to which "stuff" can get out, part of the R-410A can get out a smaller hole than the R-22, but all of the R-22 can get out through the "right sized hole" because it is smaller than a constituent of the R-410A.
