Read the charging chart specific to the unit. Not all 410A machines will operate at identical pressures in identical conditions.
The 410a operating pressure is 7.037 Barg or 102.036 psig.
200.4 Psig
minimum pressure is 525 psig for R-410A
minimum pressure is 525 psig for R-410A
Technicians with R-22 experience will need to become familiar with working with high and low side pressures that are much higher when using R-410A. A typical R-22 system operating normally with a head pressure of 260 psig at a 120-degree condensing temperature and a low side pressure of 76 psig at a 45-degree evaporator saturation temperature will find the equivalent pressures in a R-410A system to be much higher.A normally operating R-410A system with the same condensing temperature of 120 degrees and a 45 degree evaporator saturation temperature will have a high side pressure of 418 psig and a low side pressure of 130 psig.Although refrigerant 410A is a near-azeotrope and has a slight temperature glide, there is no need to correct for refrigerant dew point and bubble point differences. Superheat and sub cooling calculations can be calculated the same way we have always done with R-22 refrigerant. The only difference will be the higher pressure-temperature relationship when reading the temperature-pressure chart. The temperature glide for R-410A is only .3 degrees Fahrenheit and can be ignored and fractionation is not a concern.
60 psi for r-22. 125 for a 410a
Heat pumps that use R-410A should be checked for leaks with a tester when efficiency drops. Leaks often occur around the compressor or seals.

If you add 410A to a heat pump does it put out more heat or less?
The pressure of R-410A is significantly higher than other refrigerants R-22 and R-404A. This does not mean that R-410A, or equipment containing R-410A is unsafe. It does mean that technicians must use AC equipment; cylinders and service tools have been re-engineered to handle these higher pressures.
