R22 Refron Refrigerant Gas 13.6 kg

Various gases serve air conditioning systems, and one of the most common is R22. This refrigerant, known as an HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon), gained popularity after the ban on CFCs. Consequently, R22 became widely used in cooling and refrigeration applications. However, due to environmental concerns like ozone layer depletion and global warming, the production of R22 refrigerant has faced a ban since 2010, leading to R410A replacing it. Despite this, you can still use R22 gas from the Season brand in cooling equipment until existing supplies run out.

What is a R22 Refrigerant Gas?

A refrigerant exists in either gas or liquid form and lowers the temperature in specific environments, such as refrigerators, freezers, or homes. These substances are often called “coolants” or simply “refrigerants.” They play a vital role in the cooling cycle by absorbing heat from the environment and releasing it outside. Refrigerants operate based on a thermodynamic principle known as “phase transition,” which allows the conversion of liquid to gas and gas back to liquid. This unique characteristic makes refrigerants essential in various cooling devices, including air conditioners, freezers, coolers, and refrigerators.

The Phase Transition Principle

The “phase transition” principle explains how materials change state through heat transfer. For instance, a liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the environment to become gas, while gas can release heat and convert back into liquid. This feature enhances the effectiveness of refrigerants in cooling applications.

Types of Refrigerant Gas

You can categorize refrigerant gases based on their chemical structure into four main types:

  • CFCs – Chlorofluorocarbons
  • HCFCs – Hydrochlorofluorocarbons
  • HFCs – Hydrofluorocarbons
  • Natural Gases

Natural refrigerants include substances like hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide. In contrast, synthetic refrigerants encompass gases such as chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons.
