Choosing An R-22 Alternative Refrigerant

What Do We Want From Our R-22 Alternative Refrigerant? No Major Hardware Changes To Equipment Use The Same Oil Type Fast, Simple Conversion Sufficient Capacity At Least the Same Energy Efficiency Reliability Same Toxicity Flammability Classification as R-22 Zero Ozone Depleting Potential Reasonable Cost

What You Should Do? Make a choice. Learn all you can about your R-22 alternative choice. Use that alternative choice as many times as you can so that retrofits will become familiar and easy.
