Is freon the same as R-22 and what is the price per pound for freon?

Freon is a brand name now commonly used in the industry for most refrigerants (as the brand Kleenex is commonly used for all facial tissues). R-22 is a blend that is scheduled to be obsolete in 2020. Manufacturers may not produce R-22 air conditioners and heat pumps after January 1, 2010. A 30 pound tank of R-22 is about $375 or $12.50 per pound as of 05-2014. This is actually about $1 less than R-410a, yet service companies will charge as much as $70 per pound to the consumer. Freons require special certifications to purchase which are costly to obtain thru classes & federal EPA monitoring and testing plus the old freon must be reclaimed and recycled or destroyed by special collection processes and expensive equipment, all which is figured into the consumers final cost per pound. So There is reason for this other than to encourage the consumer to purchase a new system. The most common new refrigerant being used in new systems is R-410A and is commonly referred to by the brand name Puron. R-410A is NOT a retrofit replacement for R-22 in existing systems as it requires higher system pressures. Currently, the best retrofit replacements for R-22 are R-421A and R-422B (trade name NU22B). These may be substituted for R-22 after a complete system evac and filter change with no oil change required. Another excellent retrofit is R-427A which was designed exclusively for retrofit use, however it does require an oil change.

What is the low side and high side pressure for r410a?

Technicians with R-22 experience will need to become familiar with working with high and low side pressures that are much higher when using R-410A. A typical R-22 system operating normally with a head pressure of 260 psig at a 120-degree condensing temperature and a low side pressure of 76 psig at a 45-degree evaporator saturation temperature will find the equivalent pressures in a R-410A system to be much higher.A normally operating R-410A system with the same condensing temperature of 120 degrees and a 45 degree evaporator saturation temperature will have a high side pressure of 418 psig and a low side pressure of 130 psig.Although refrigerant 410A is a near-azeotrope and has a slight temperature glide, there is no need to correct for refrigerant dew point and bubble point differences. Superheat and sub cooling calculations can be calculated the same way we have always done with R-22 refrigerant. The only difference will be the higher pressure-temperature relationship when reading the temperature-pressure chart. The temperature glide for R-410A is only .3 degrees Fahrenheit and can be ignored and fractionation is not a concern.

Is there toxic freon in air conditioning units?

Freon is not Toxic, but its not good to breath it or have extended contact with it on the skin. It is a controlled EPA substance. Some are Flammable and have other properties like 410A which is a mixed blend of Freon/Purion. Under pressure 410a is one liquid but outside of the system the Freon components separate and become to different chemicals.
