FLORON REFRIGERANT GAS R-22

Overview

Floron R-22 Refrigerant Gas is a high-quality hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) widely used in legacy HVAC systems for its strong cooling efficiency, stable thermodynamic behavior, and long-term reliability. With a proven track record in split ACs, commercial chillers, industrial cold rooms, and retail refrigeration, Floron R-22 remains critical for maintaining older systems that cannot be retrofitted to modern refrigerants without redesign.

Due to global phase-out regulations, R-22 is limited to servicing existing equipment and cannot be used in new installations. Floron provides high-purity, moisture-free R-22 suitable for precise temperature control and dependable operation.

Key Features

• High Cooling Efficiency: Excellent heat transfer and fast temperature pull-down.
• Thermally Stable: Performs consistently under varied load and ambient conditions.
• A1 Safety Class: Non-toxic, non-flammable, safe under normal usage.
• Oil Compatibility: Works with Mineral Oil (MO) and Alkylbenzene (AB) lubricants.
• High Purity: ≥ 99.9% purity for reduced moisture and contaminants.
• Regulated Availability: Permitted only for servicing older R-22 equipment.

Applications

• Legacy residential split & central AC systems
• Industrial chillers and cold rooms
• Retail refrigeration and display units
• Commercial HVAC systems designed for R-22
• Cold storage & industrial process cooling

Technical Specifications

Cylinder Dimensions & Handling

FAQs

1. Is Floron R-22 still available?
Yes, but only for servicing legacy equipment. Not permitted for new systems.

2. Can R-22 be used in modern air-conditioners?
No. Modern systems are designed for HFC blends like R-410A, R-407C, or R-32.

3. What lubricants are compatible?
Mineral oil or alkylbenzene oil, depending on the compressor type.

4. Can R-22 be mixed with other refrigerants?
No. Mixing causes poor performance and system damage.

5. Can I retrofit R-22 equipment to R-410A or R-32?
No. Pressure levels are incompatible—system redesign is required.
