No! Answer No, it will run at a much higher pressure and will probably blow your safety valve. Of course, the answer to your question regarding compatibility could be taken another way. There are mixtures on the market for automobiles with r-22 in them. Chemically it's not a problem, but the pressures are so much higher that to REPLACE r-12 with r-22 would be guaranteeing a system failure. Mixtures for cars with r-22 in them also have other (much lower pressure) components to help control the high pressure of the r-22. In fact, despite the inherent problems with MVAC (leaks and fractionization), mixtures of refrigerants offer more efficient utilization of the condenser and evaporator surface area. Each refrigerant has it's own 'sweet spot' pressure / temperature for condensation and vaporization If you are running a mixture of refrigerants, each will find it's own sweet spot in the condenser and evaporator, allowing for a number of sweet spots for each refrigerant. When you run one refrigerant, you will get basically one sweet spot per heat exchanger.

Why r22 freon is not compatible with r410 freon?

Chemical composition and properties, different system pressures, different pressure/teperarature relationships in when they'll change states from liquid to vapor... you never mix refrigerants, period.

Can you replace R-22 freon with a different freon in a central air unit?

Envirosafe sells R22a, a propane based freon that they claim is compatible with R22 systems, but to add this to your system legally you have to first have your system evacuated of reg. freon 22 by a recovery sytem, it is against federal law to release it into the atmosphere as well as mixing different types of freon. The good news is that it costs less than R22, they claim it is more efficient than R22 and you don't need a license to buy it. Although you seem to know what you are talking about just one question what is the difference in reg. FREON and R-22?
