Refrigerant gases make air conditioning possible. Contained within the coils of an air conditioner, these liquid agents cool and dehumidify indoor air. For years, the most common refrigerant gas used in air-conditioning systems was R-22 (Freon).
Today, services for major brand's air conditioner should be provided considering growing environmental concerns. Production of systems using R-22 refrigerant is being dropped out. Meanwhile, cooling systems have introduced an environment friendly alternative to R-22.
Today , EPA-recognized chlorine-free R-410A refrigerant is acclaimed in the industry. Because R-410A contains no chlorine, it is considered ozone-friendly.
Highest efficiency cooling systems are designed to use R-410 A refrigerant, therefore providing an economic benefit in addition to the environmental benefit. R-410A systems are also known for improved reliability, quieter operation, improved dehumidification and enhanced heat pump performance.
Main Features of R-410A are :
R-410 A is a hydro-flurocarbon ( HFC ) & doesn't contribute to ozone depletion.
its operating pressures are 50% higher than R - 22
R-410 A systems require components capable of working at these high pressures
R-410 A is the most common refrigerant for new light commercial unitary air conditioning systems.
