Is R410a freon compatible with R22?

No


Can a R410A evaporator be used with a R22 condensor?

No, R410a runs higher pressures.


Can a R410A condensor be used with a R22 evaporator coil?

No, R410a runs higher pressures.


Can you use a r410a condenser brand new with a r22 air handler brand new?

No. r410a runs at a much higher pressure.


What licence do you need to buy r-22 or r410a refrigerant?

R22 needs import license,R410A does not need anything special


Can you mix r22 freon with R410a in a heat pump?

No , they operate at different pressures and are not compatible.


Which refrigerant has the lowest condensing temperature R12 or R22 or R500 or R410a?

R-12..........


What are the correct pressures for R410a?

The pressure for an R410a air conditioner system should be 118psi LP and 412psi HP. This is the same pressure as an R22 air conditioner.


Why are there more safety precautions with r410a than with other popular refrigerants like r22 and r404a?

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.


Who can buy home refrigerant for the air conditioner?

short answer: Only people with and EPA certification may purchase R22 and/or R410A refrigerants.


Can you use a condensor designed for R22 with an evaporator designed for R410A?

It depends on what you want to do with the sytem. If it is and older condensor contact the supplier and ask for specifications on what the condensor does in 410A. It only depends on the different pressures in the system en the condensoing capacity at R410A.


Will a new r22 coil work with 410 refrigerant?

An R22 coil will work properly with R410A only ifseveral conditions are met.First, the manufacturer of the coil must specify that it will work with both refrigerants. R410A systems operate at about 40 to 70 % higher pressure than R22 systems.Second, the new coil must be equipped with an inlet control (either a thermal expansion valve or orifice) that is intended for R410A. The new coil may not use a capillary tube metering system to control refrigerant flow into the evaporator coils.Third, the tonnage, or Btu capacity, of the coil and control device, and the EER/SEER of the coil must match those same ratings for the condensing unit.Fourth, if the new coil has been used in an R22 system, it must be thoroughly flushed clean of oil, and must be refitted with the proper control valving for R410A.
