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.
The suction pressure required to maintain a 40 degree evaporator coil temperature depends on the refrigerant being used, as different refrigerants have different pressure-temperature characteristics. A typical range for R-22 refrigerant would be around 55-60 psig. It is important to consult the specific pressure-temperature chart for the refrigerant being used.
The pressure-temperature relationship for refrigerants is based on the principles of thermodynamics, specifically the behavior of substances in different phases. Liquid refrigerant must be present because the relationship holds true only when the refrigerant is in a saturated state, where it can coexist as both liquid and vapor. This balance allows for the defined pressure at which a refrigerant will boil or condense, ensuring accurate readings and predictable performance in refrigeration systems. Without liquid refrigerant, the system may not operate efficiently or could lead to erroneous pressure measurements.
Freon is probably the most misused term out there right now. When you say freon, you are referring to refrigerant. There are many different types of refrigerant. There is R-12 (Dichlorodiflouromethane), R-22, R-134A, etc... Each different refrigerant has different pressures at different temperatures and such. The best thing to do is determine which refrigerant your system is using, and then acquire a pressure/temperature chart for it, which can probably be found online. I think the best thing to do after determining which refrigerant your system uses is to Google search for a P/T chart.
It is not recommended to use Freeze 12 refrigerant in a soda machine that is designed for R-12. The two refrigerants have different properties and may not work efficiently or safely in the system. It is best to use the specific refrigerant recommended by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and to prevent any potential damage to the equipment.
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.
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.
The pressure and the specific refrigerant properties determine the temperature at which a refrigerant vaporizes. As pressure increases, the boiling point of the refrigerant also increases. Different refrigerants have different boiling points at different pressures.
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 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.
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.
Different freezers were designed for different refrigerants. You will need to consult its labeling to find what it was designed for, then if that is no longer available find a compatible refrigerant that is available.
Two different oils. Cannot be recycled or reclaimed.
No, you should not mix R22 and R22a refrigerants together. Mixing different refrigerants can lead to system inefficiency, reduced cooling capacity, and potential damage to the equipment. It is important to use the correct refrigerant specified by the manufacturer for your system.

what causes fractionation to happen i certain blends of refrigerants
Fractionation occurs in certain blends of refrigerants due to the different boiling points of the individual components in the blend. As the refrigerant evaporates or condenses during the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant components can separate based on their boiling points, leading to changes in the composition of the refrigerant blend and potentially impacting system performance.
