R22 3.4 KG

Product Overview:

R22, also known as Chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22), is a widely used refrigerant in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It was extensively adopted due to its efficiency and stability. R22 refrigerant is recognized for its role in cooling and heating applications but is being phased out due to its impact on the environment.

Key Features:

• Efficient cooling performance for medium and low-temperature systems
• Stable under high operating pressures
• Compatible with mineral oil-based lubricants
• Non-flammable and chemically stable
• Widely available in 13.6 kg (30 lbs) cylinders for industrial use

Applications:

• Residential & Commercial Air Conditioning: Common in older HVAC units
• Refrigeration: Used in industrial chillers, cold storage, and supermarket display cases
• Heat Pumps: Effective for older systems
• Industrial Cooling: Suitable for medium-to-low temperature industrial processes

Features and Benefits

• High Efficiency: Excellent heat transfer properties
• Wide Operating Range: Effective across diverse temperatures
• Stable Performance: Works well under high pressures
• Compatibility: Previously compatible with existing system components

Environmental Impact

Due to its chlorine content, R22 contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer and has a high GWP. As part of the Montreal Protocol, R22 is being phased out globally and replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives.

Safety Information

• Handling: Handle with care; avoid inhalation or direct skin contact
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated area
• Protective Equipment: Use gloves and goggles during handling
• Health Hazards: Prolonged exposure may cause dizziness or respiratory irritation

Regulatory Phase-Out

• R22 production and import have been restricted or banned in many countries.
• Existing systems using R22 can continue operating but require retrofitting for future servicing.
• Alternatives such as R410A, R32, R407C, and R134a are recommended for new installations.
