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. It's your call. Links are provided.

Why does cell membrane not leak when its is punctured with a needle?
If a cell is punctured with an ultra-fine needle it will NOT leak. instead, the proteins and phospholipids will move in to fill the gap as the needle is removed.
Are Freon Gases completely harmless to human body?
No! It is not harmless! Freon exposure can seriously effect the nervous system. Although freon exposure is more common in small amounts, such as leaks from household appliances, exposure can also come in much larger amounts during car or air conditioner repair. The most serious side effect of freon exposure would occur at the time of initial exposure. People who have a history of heart problems should be very concerned about Freon because it can cause cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and palpitations at very high concentrations. For people who have a history of heart problems, being exposed to small amounts of Freon from leaking appliances should not pose any significant health risk. Fortunately, Freon does not have serious long term health consequences. It is not a carcinogen, teratogen, or mutagen, and it does not damage the liver. When it is inhaled, it is rapidly excreted by exhalation, and it is not significantly accumulated in the body. This means that breathing low concentrations of freon from a leaking refrigerator or air conditioner over a long period of time is unlikely to have a cumulative effect, and thus few, if any, long term health effects. When trying to figure out how much Freon you have been exposed to, there are several things to keep in mind. First, there is a finite amount of Freon contained in the refrigeration system, so you can't be exposed to any more than what is actually in the system. Second, Freon is about 4 times heavier than air, so it is going to sink to the floor initially, though it is highly volatile and will disperse rapidly. What this means is that the closer to the floor that you are, the more Freon you are likely to breathe in. This is a concern especially for children and pets, children because they are smaller and thus require smaller doses for acute effects to occur, and pets, especially dogs, because they are more sensitive to the heart sensitizing effects of Freon than humans are. If you discover that you have a Freon leak, contact a technician for repairs immediately. Open up windows and doors and use fans to help move the air out of the area. Remove yourself and your pets to an area of fresh air, and if you feel any unusual health effects, seek medical care. If you have chronic heart conditions, consider having your Freon containing appliances checked regularly for leaks. == ==
Can you leak freon from your central air unit without a leak?
no. How could you have a leak without a leak? There's a hole in the system somewhere.
How do you find freon leaks Chevy Express?
You have to have a freon leak detector. Are you can put freon dye in the system and find a leak that way.
How long will freon last for AC I installed my AC a year ago and it looks like it's needed freon. Is it normal that freon last for a year or should it last more than that?
the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck....
How do you find freon leak in home ac unit?
You can find a Freon leak in a home Ac unit by using a leak detector. These instruments are capable of detecting trace amounts of Freon and pinpoint leaks.
Can you smell freon leak in car?
Freon is odorless; you cannot smell it.
When should refrigerator freon be checked?
When the fridge is not cooling due to freon leak or freon restriction.
How do you detect freon leak?
Have a shop perform a leak test with a halogen detector.
Will freon leak when ac is off?
Yes.
Is there a possibility that the freon in a system will expose?
Yes, when the device containing freons is disposed off the gas might escape for pressure difference or leak through a hole and get into the atmosphere.
How does an AC unit run low on freon?
Freon can leak. Since it will do so in the form of an invisible, odorless gas, it is very difficult to observe such a leak.
Can AC freon leak at front of the clucth on ac compressor on a 1995 GMC safari?
yes there is a seal on the front of compressor that can go bad and leak freon.
Where does freon in a 2007 hhr go?
