FAQs:
Q1. Is R‑22 still available in the market?
Yes, but in limited quantities and mainly for servicing existing equipment. It is banned in many regions for new systems.
Q2. Can I use R‑22 in modern AC systems?
No. Modern systems are designed for R‑410A or R‑32. R‑22 requires dedicated system specifications.
Q3. What are the storage precautions for R‑22?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from sunlight. Avoid high temperatures to prevent pressure build-up.
