Description
R-22, also known as Chlorodifluoromethane, has been the industry standard in residential and commercial HVAC systems for decades. While its production is being phased out due to environmental regulations, R-22 remains critical for servicing and maintaining millions of existing systems worldwide. With proven reliability and system compatibility, R-22 continues to support the performance of legacy equipment.
Key Features and Benefits:
✅ Proven long-term performance: Decades of use in HVAC and refrigeration systems have established R-22 as one of the most stable and reliable refrigerants ever developed.
✅ Legacy system compatibility: Specifically designed for older systems, R-22 ensures seamless operation without the need for costly retrofitting or component changes.
✅ Efficient cooling power: Delivers consistent, powerful cooling performance in both residential and commercial environments.
✅ Low system stress: Operates under moderate pressure and works with traditional mineral oils, reducing wear and extending system lifespan.

Main Applications
Residential and Commercial HVAC Systems
Perfect for older split systems, window A/C units, rooftop units, and other equipment originally designed for R-22.
Refrigeration Systems
Still widely used in walk-in coolers, ice machines, beverage storage, and food-service refrigeration units.
Chillers and Industrial Cooling
Supports older industrial chillers and air-source heat pumps in large-scale facilities.
Note on Environmental Regulations
Due to its ozone depletion potential, R-22 is being phased out under international agreements. However, it remains legal for servicing existing systems in many regions. Always follow proper recovery, recycling, and handling protocols per local regulations.
