Is R-22 the same as R-134 refrigerent?

R-22 and R-134 refrigerant are not the same. They have different chemical compositions, properties, and applications.

R-22 (Chlorodifluoromethane)

* It was commonly used in older refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

* Contains hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which contributes to ozone depletion.

* Not commonly used in newer systems due to environmental concerns.

R-134 (Tetrafluoroethane)

* Introduced as a more environmentally friendly replacement for R-22.

* Does not contain chlorine and has a lower ozone depletion potential (ODP).

* Widely used in newer refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

While R-134 has been accepted as a more environmentally friendly alternative to R-22, there are ongoing efforts to find even more sustainable refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP).
