Description
Overview
SEASON Refrigerant Gas R-22 (HCFC-22 / CHClF₂) is a proven, high-performance refrigerant used for decades in residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems. Renowned for its strong cooling capacity, stable thermodynamic behavior, and broad compatibility, R-22 continues to support legacy systems that were originally designed for this refrigerant.
Although its production and use are restricted due to ozone depletion concerns, SEASON R-22 remains legally available only for servicing existing installations. It is offered in high-purity packaging to ensure reliable cooling performance in aging equipment.
Key Features
- Strong Cooling Capacity: Excellent performance in medium- and low-temperature systems.
- A1 Safety Classification: Non-flammable, low-toxicity refrigerant.
- Oil Compatibility: Works with Mineral Oil (MO) and Alkylbenzene (AB).
- High Purity: Manufactured to strict moisture-free standards for consistent system operation.
- Trusted for Legacy Systems: Suitable for older ACs, chillers, and refrigeration units.
Applications
- Residential & commercial split AC units
- Central AC systems
- Industrial chillers & cold room plants
- Supermarket display counters
- Medium & low-temperature refrigeration

FAQs
1. Is SEASON R-22 still available?
Yes, but only in limited quantities and only for servicing older systems.
2. Can R-22 be used in new AC installations?
No. New systems use R-410A, R-32, or low-GWP options.
3. What oils work with R-22?
Mineral Oil (MO) or Alkylbenzene (AB), depending on the compressor.
4. Is R-22 flammable?
No—classified as A1, non-flammable and safe under normal operating conditions.
5. Does R-22 require special handling?
Yes. Recovery, recycling, and environmental compliance are mandatory.
