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.
Yes, you can use R-407C in an R-22 condenser, but it's important to note that the system must be retrofitted and compatible with R-407C. This refrigerant has different properties than R-22, so the oil type and charge amounts may need to be adjusted. Additionally, the performance and efficiency may differ, so it's advisable to consult a professional before making the switch.

No
yes
It is not recommended to mix R-407C with R-22 refrigerant, as they are not compatible. Mixing different refrigerants can lead to reduced efficiency, increased pressure, and potential damage to the system. If you need to switch refrigerants, it is best to completely evacuate the R-22 and replace it with the new refrigerant according to manufacturer guidelines. Always consult a qualified HVAC technician for proper handling and servicing.

Is r-22 Freon compatible with r-134a freon?
No , they operate at different pressures and are not 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.

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.
