R22 Condenser With R410a Air Handler

With r410a units the installers must have there process dialed in tight.

R22 condenser with r410a air handler.

R410a is a higher pressure system and r22 is a lower pressure system. Oxygen and moisture contamination is the biggest killer of r410a compressors that we see today. They are both good refrigerants and they both work but they have to be charged in the system at different pressures. By doing so you can keep your existing coil air handler line set and other indoor equipment.

Newer air conditioning models are designed to be used with r 410a for reliable and more efficient operation. Though the r22 is available at a cheaper rate it is always better to use the r410a. A tech could do a poor job of installing the r22 condenser and the unit would last for 10 years or more. The old r22 compressors were not so picky.

As of 2012 the heating ventilating and air conditioning hvac industry is in the process of changing over from ozone depleting r 22 refrigerant to environmentally friendlier r 410a refrigerant. It is more effective for reducing global ozone layer depletion and also performs faster. Our r 421a air conditioner units use roughly the same pressure as r22 allowing you to keep your indoor units. To make a short story long r410a and r22 are refrigerants.

The r410a is a clear winner in terms of pressure applied in the air conditioner. Because r 410a can absorb and release more heat than r 22 your air conditioning compressor can run cooler reducing the risk of compressor burnout due to overheating.
