no. it is not a good idea. new hfc refrigerants require a different type of oil than the R22 units. the new refrigerants typically run at higher pressures than the R22 units.
No, R410a runs higher pressures.
No, R410a runs higher pressures.
No , they operate at different pressures and are not compatible.
The recommended suction pressure for R22 varies depending on the specific operating conditions and equipment. However, typical suction pressures for R22 range from 60-70 psi for air conditioning applications. It's important to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or an HVAC professional for specific recommendations.
No, you should not use an R22 manifold gauge set for R410A. R410A operates at higher pressures than R22, and using an R22 gauge set could lead to inaccurate readings and potential equipment damage. It's essential to use a manifold gauge set specifically designed for R410A to ensure safety and proper functionality.
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.
No it's not. R22 is designed for use in home HVAC systems where as R12 is intended for automotive systems. Using R22 in an automobile will cause swelling of seals and hoses, possible compressor failure due to different running pressures.

Absolutely not ... R410 operates at much higher pressures than R22, and mixing would do nothing but contaminate both refrigerants (and possibly mess up your system)
Most new equipment is built for and charged with R410a, a refrigerant with much higher pressures than the R22 used for decades, R22 units are still available, dry charged however, you must fill them with R22 onsite. This is how new R22 compatible equipments being sold still.
The pressures depend on the temperatures so it is not possible to give "normal" temperatures. The pressures change with the outdoor and indoor temperatures. You need to be EPA certified to attach gauges to the unit to check the pressures.
