Refrigerants should not be mixed in the same recovery cylinder, as different refrigerants have varying properties and can react adversely with one another. Each refrigerant type should be recovered into its designated cylinder to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. This practice helps maintain the integrity of the refrigerants for proper recycling or disposal. Therefore, ideally, only one type of refrigerant should be recovered in a single cylinder.
mixing different refrigerants can lead to unpredictable chemical reactions, potentially causing system damage or creating harmful byproducts. It can also contaminate the recovered refrigerant, making it difficult to recycle or reuse. Keeping refrigerants separate ensures proper disposal and prevents environmental harm.
Two different oils. Cannot be recycled or reclaimed.
Refrigerant compatibility refers to different types of refrigerant being compatible. Not all air conditioners use the same type of refrigerant and not all refrigerants are compatible in every air conditioner.
There are different types of refrigerant oils. Refrigerants such as R22 and R12 usually use mineral oil. But some of blended refrigerants like R410A can sometimes use a poly oil. These oils can not be blended together. So a system that already has a refrigerant with mineral oil must be charged with refrigerants with the same oil.
"Freon" is a trademark name of DuPont for a series of HFC and CFC refrigerants which they manufactured - other companies manufactured and continue to manufacture the same refrigerants, but cannot use the name Freon for their product. Some of the refrigerants marketed under the name Freon are flammable, and some are not. The CFC refrigerants will almost certainly be flammable - the HFC refrigerants may or may not be.
Freon is a name trademarked by DuPont for a line of CFC and HFC refrigerants which they manufacture. Other manufacturers make these same refrigerants, but cannot call them Freon, as DuPont has exclusive rights to the name. The common name depends on the exact refrigerant you had in mind, as different types of AC systems use different refrigerant.
They operate at different pressures and mixing them will cause cross contamination plus it will damage the a/c system.............
Mixing CFC-12 and HFC-134a is not recommended due to potential compatibility issues and environmental concerns. The two refrigerants have different properties and mixing them can affect the efficiency and safety of the cooling system. It is best to follow manufacturer recommendations and use only compatible refrigerants to avoid any complications.
Yes many different shapes can have the same volume
