What is refrigerant compatibility?
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.
Where can I get a chart that tells you about freon gas pressure.?
Freon is probably the most misused term out there right now. When you say freon, you are referring to refrigerant. There are many different types of refrigerant. There is R-12 (Dichlorodiflouromethane), R-22, R-134A, etc... Each different refrigerant has different pressures at different temperatures and such. The best thing to do is determine which refrigerant your system is using, and then acquire a pressure/temperature chart for it, which can probably be found online. I think the best thing to do after determining which refrigerant your system uses is to Google search for a P/T chart.
Does not change shape when place in different container?
solid
What state of matter will always take the shape and volume of its container?
the state of matter that changes shape when placed in a different container is water
What is true of all particles gas enclosed within a container?
They move at different speeds.

the mixture may be impossible to reclaim

Explain what Refrigeration Compatibility means in relation to refrigeration oils?
There are different types of refrigerant oils. Refrigerants such as R22 and R12 usually use mineral oil. But some of blended refrigerants like R410A can sometimes use a poly oil. These oils can not be blended together. So a system that already has a refrigerant with mineral oil must be charged with refrigerants with the same oil.
What is freon's common name?
Freon is a name trademarked by DuPont for a line of CFC and HFC refrigerants which they manufacture. Other manufacturers make these same refrigerants, but cannot call them Freon, as DuPont has exclusive rights to the name. The common name depends on the exact refrigerant you had in mind, as different types of AC systems use different refrigerant.
What kind of freon for a freezer?
Different freezers were designed for different refrigerants. You will need to consult its labeling to find what it was designed for, then if that is no longer available find a compatible refrigerant that is available.
Which refrigerant gas is QRF0062?
> refrigerant type QRF0062 is a mixture of 5 different refrigerants. > R134a > R508b > R600a > R14 > R740 > The part number for the mixture is: AVL96044G15 BOTTLE CHRG for -140 Centerigate freezer
Why should you not mix r-22 and r-41oa refrigerants in the same container?
Two different oils. Cannot be recycled or reclaimed.
Can you ingest refrigerants from contaminated ice cubes?
Yes, it's possible to ingest refrigerants from contaminated ice. But the quantities will be small, and anyone who swallows a bit of "regular" refrigerant will likely not suffer any ill effects. Swallowing refrigerant isn't something that is high on the list of things of concern. In general it isn't something to "worry" about. The exception might be refrigerants based on ammonia, but if there was any of that in the ice, your nose would tell you the pungent stuff was there. There are a zillion different refrigerants. These refrigerants are very volatile. They want to turn to gas and get out of Dodge if they have any opportunity to do so. And they won't freeze at anywhere near the temperature that ice does. Refrigerant that "gets loose" in water that is being frozen to make ice would bubble out quickly. Refrigerants pose a hazard in their gaseous form, and there are many cases of individuals being overcome by them. In air, the refrigerants are "heavy" and will collect in low places by displacing air - and the oxygen in it. Anyone moving through a space where refrigerants have "taken over" will quickly approach unconsciousness. It would be easy to pass out, and then, if no one happens by in just moments, asphyxiation would follow in a very short time.
It is important not to mix R-22 and R-410A refrigerants in the same container because?
They operate at different pressures and mixing them will cause cross contamination plus it will damage the a/c system.............
Can you use r 134a refrigerant instead of r 12 refrigerant?
The short answer is yes. However, the A/C system must be retrofitted (changed from R-12 to R-134a). Many people believe that you can simply add R-134a in place of R-12 without retrofitting. However, this is not recommended because you can do damage to the A/C system. Remember that you are mixing two different refrigerants and refrigerant oils.
Can you use the ac recharge kit sold at walmart to recharge a window ac unit?
No. First off, the trustworthiness of any such kit sold at Walmart is questionable. Secondly, the kits are intended for automotive AC systems, and will come with R134a refrigerant... window units use a different type of refrigerant (often R22, from my understanding). Different refrigerants cannot be blended, and doing so will ultimately damage the AC unit.
Temperature glide in an zeotropic refrigerant menas the refrigerant is a?
a mixture of two or more substances of different properties.
