R-22 can be replaced with several alternatives, with R-410A and R-407C being the most common options. R-410A is a blend of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and offers better efficiency but requires a different compressor and system modifications. R-407C is a closer replacement for R-22 and is often used in existing systems with minimal adjustments. Always consult a qualified HVAC technician to determine the best replacement for your specific system.

Several refrigerants are out with similar properties to R-22. Lately, the most notable one is R-410A, though it`s properties are not so close to 22 it is getting a lot of traction as the long term replacement. Another is 407C, but it never gained the popularity that 410A has. Probably because it is a blend and will fractionate. There is no drop in replacement for 22 that I am aware of and if there is it is not widely promoted or used.
R-404A, R-407C, and R-410A. are the newer, environmentally better alternatives to freon. For complete details and generic names for these substitutes, please visit the site http://www.epa.gov/Ozone/snap/refrigerants/lists/index.html.
The 410a operating pressure is 7.037 Barg or 102.036 psig.
I think we can mix with r22, because we listen to one guy who been work for A/C company for ten yrs. He said yes, Hot Shot is for you to mix with it to make it colder, and we did mix it. It's run cold and normal. It's been run for 2yrs now.
407C is a refrigerant that is often used as a replacement for R22, particularly in systems designed for R22. While it is compatible in terms of functioning within the same system, it is important to note that 407C operates at slightly different pressures and requires a different oil type (POE oil instead of mineral oil). Therefore, a system designed for R22 may need some modifications to ensure optimal performance with 407C. Always consult a professional before making any changes to refrigerant types in HVAC systems.

If you add 410A to a heat pump does it put out more heat or less?
minimum pressure is 525 psig for R-410A
