What Do We Want From Our R-22 What Do We Want From Our R-22 Alternative Refrigerant?Alternative Refrigerant?

• No Major Hardware Changes To Equipment• Use The Same Oil Type• Fast, Simple Conversion• Sufficient Capacity• At Least the Same Energy Efficiency• Reliability• Same Toxicity • Flammability Classification as R-22• Zero Ozone Depleting Potential• Reasonable Cost

What You Should Do?

• Make a choice.• Learn all you can about your R-22

alternative choice.• Use that alternative choice as many

times as you can so that retrofits will become familiar and easy.
