When R-22 refrigerant is heated, it absorbs energy and undergoes a phase change, transitioning from a liquid to a gas if heated sufficiently. This process increases the pressure within the refrigeration system, which can lead to higher efficiency in heat absorption during the cooling cycle. However, excessive heating can cause the refrigerant to degrade, potentially leading to system damage and reduced performance. Additionally, R-22 is being phased out due to its ozone-depleting properties, prompting a transition to more environmentally friendly refrigerants.
ef-22a is a hydrocarbon refrigerant that replaces R22
To determine if a refrigerant charge is correct using R22, you would need to measure the suction and discharge pressure and temperature, calculate the superheat and subcooling values, and compare them to the manufacturer's specifications or recommended values for the specific system. Adjust the refrigerant charge if the measurements are outside the acceptable range to ensure optimal system performance.
Ozone when heated gets decomposed. It decomposes into oxygen.

Mixing R22 refrigerant with R438A is not recommended. R438A is a replacement for R22, but it has a different composition and properties. Mixing refrigerants can lead to reduced efficiency, potential equipment damage, and difficulty in servicing the system. It's best to fully evacuate the system and charge it with the appropriate refrigerant.
The cost of 125 pounds of R22 refrigerant can vary depending on market prices and supplier rates. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $100 per pound for R22 refrigerant. Therefore, the total cost for 125 pounds of R22 could range from $6,250 to $12,500.
A 2-ton air conditioner typically contains around 4-5 pounds of R22 refrigerant.
