Pro’s and Con’s

Pro’s Con’s

•Low specific volume, lead to smaller piping and other components•No glide (0.1K)•No ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential)•Appropriate for new systems  

•High pressure, need special components•GWP (Global Warming Potential)•Not appropriate when converting old R22 systems•Low critical temperature (73ºC), limiting the condensation temperature.
