The simple answer is that an R12 system wasn't designed for R22. There are different pressures reached, there are different compressor oils used, and R22 may not even be compatible with a compressor designed for R12. Changing an R12 system to R22 could be done, but it would require extensive conversion, and would still be undesirable - R22 is being phased out, largely because it's a carcinogen and because of the harsh environmental effects.
What else can I help you with?
Can R22 be used in a R12 system?
No, R22 is for refrigerators and home AC. It runs at a different pressure and you can't use one for the other.
Can you interchange R22 to R12?
There are kits to do this, but I don't recommend it.
How do you convert R12 freon to R22 freon?
You cAnt sorry
Is R12 Compatible with R22?
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.
Is r12 r22 compatible?
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.
Can you mix r22 and r12 freon?
It is not recommended.
What other refrigerant besides R12 can be used on a 1988 Toyota Camry?
No. R12 systems are designed for R12. The lubricating oil for 134a is synthetic and will attack the o-rings in a R12 system. I think the operating pressures are also different.Samething is now happening to residential ACs. R22 is out and 410 is in.They are not compatible.SOL
What can r12 and r22 can decompose to form?
R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF (hydrogen fluoride). R22 (chlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF as well. Both reactions can occur under high temperature or in the presence of a catalyst.
Which refrigerant has the lowest condensing temperature R12 or R22 or R500 or R410a?
R-12..........
Can the same lubricant oil be used for r12 r22 r134a co2 refrigerant in refrigerator?
No
You have a R22 system wit the compressor shot can you use a R12 compressor?
No. The entire cooling system is designed to use a specific refrigerant. To change any one component would throw every thing off.
What forms when R12 and R22 gas decompose at high temperature?
When R12 and R22 gas decompose at high temperatures, they can form phosgene gas, hydrogen fluoride, and other toxic byproducts. These byproducts can be harmful to human health and the environment, highlighting the importance of proper handling and disposal of refrigerants.
