Is freon the same as R 22 and what is the price per pound for freon?

Freon is another commonly used name for refrigerant, which can include R22, R410, and R12. The price per pound depends on which type, and should be only installed or sold by a certified technician. In most countries, the release or use of refrigerant by uncertified individuals is illegal.


Substitute for r22?

r22a


Is my home air conditioner damaged if serviceman mixed R22 with R-410A?

Probably not, how long did it run before the mix up was discovered? All of the refrigerant has to come out and be properly disposed of, then a good evacuation and recharge. You did not say which refrigerant was the correct one for the machine, but either way it all has to go.


Is R404 freon compatible with R22?

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.


Is the Robinson r22 piston or turbine driven?

because they have a light weight frame they are able to get away with a piston engine witch make is that much cheaper
