By January 1, 2010, new refrigeration and air conditioning equipment will no longer be produced using R-22 as a refrigerant. R22 will still be produced for servicing existing equipment, but by the year 2020, R22 will only be available from previously recovered and recycled sources and will no longer be produced.
If you currently use R22 and are faced with issue of the changeover, R410a may be a refrigerant you are considering. R410a is very different from R22 and so there are various issues associated with the changeover, namely the much higher discharge pressure. The first rule of thumb is that there is no “drop-in” replacement for any refrigerant currently being used. Each substitute refrigerant used will require some design changes in the refrigeration system. An R22 system cannot be charged with R410a since the components were not rated for the higher pressures associated with it.
There are several reasons why R410a is being considered as a suitable replacement for R22:
Most manufacturers who will be switching to R410a will need to replace their existing charging equipment. However, VTech makes changing to R410a easy with a high pressure filling head capable of charging all other common HFC refrigerants. Also, the machine has all of the refrigerant temperature and pressure data stored in its program logic. Basically, that means we’re ready when you’re ready. Contact us today for more details. |
The VTech UNO is the most cost-effective solution to the issue of changing over from R22. The UNO comes pre-programmed for R410a and any other refrigerants you request. Please click here to find out more about the VTech UNO or any of our other Refrigerant Charging Systems in our product catalog. |
