R22
R22 is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant that has been commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems for many years. However, R22 has a high ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a high global warming potential (GWP) which makes it a contributor to environmental problems such as ozone depletion and climate change. Due to these concerns, the use of R22 has been phased out in many countries, and is being replaced by more environmentally friendly refrigerants such as R410A and R32. While R22 is still used in some older systems, it is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to obtain due to its phase-out status
R32
R32 is a colourless, odourless, and non-toxic refrigerant gas that belongs to the HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) family of refrigerants. It has a low global warming potential (GWP) of 675, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to other refrigerants that have higher GWPs. It is commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, as well as heat pumps, and has been adopted by many major air conditioning brands including Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and others. R32 has a high refrigeration capacity and is more energy-efficient than some other refrigerants, making it a popular choice in the industry. However, it is classified as slightly flammable and should be handled with care.
R410A
R410A is a blend refrigerant composed of two HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) components: (R32) and (R125). It has become a popular replacement for older refrigerants such as R22, which are being phased out due to environmental concerns. It has a relatively low global warming potential (GWP) of 2088, which is much lower than some of the older refrigerants. R410A is commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems and has been adopted by many major air conditioning brands including Carrier, Daikin, LG, Mitsubishi, and Samsung. It has a higher cooling capacity than some other refrigerants, making it an efficient choice for cooling larger spaces. However, like all refrigerants, R410A should be handled with care and proper safety precautions should be taken during installation, maintenance, and disposal.
