It carries an \u003cstrong\u003eASHRAE A1\u003c\/strong\u003e safety classification (low toxicity, no flame propagation), an \u003cstrong\u003eODP of 0.055\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eGWP of 1810\u003c\/strong\u003e under \u003cstrong\u003eIPCC AR4\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is sold under names such as \u003cstrong\u003eFreon-22\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGenetron 22\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eForane 22\u003c\/strong\u003e. Traditional \u003cstrong\u003eR-22\u003c\/strong\u003e systems run on \u003cstrong\u003emineral oil (MO)\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003ealkylbenzene (AB)\u003c\/strong\u003e oil, and the refrigerant manufacturers also note it can work with \u003cstrong\u003ePOE oil\u003c\/strong\u003e, so follow the equipment manufacturer’s lubricant guidance. Because of its \u003cstrong\u003eozone depletion potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eR-22\u003c\/strong\u003e production and import ended in the United States on January 1, 2020. EPA states that existing equipment can keep being serviced, and previously produced and reclaimed \u003cstrong\u003eR-22\u003c\/strong\u003e remains available for that work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore opening the cylinder, read the \u003cstrong\u003eequipment nameplate\u003c\/strong\u003e and confirm the system is charged with \u003cstrong\u003eR-22\u003c\/strong\u003e. Low charge shows up as \u003cstrong\u003elow suction pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003efrosted evaporator coil\u003c\/strong\u003e, high \u003cstrong\u003esuperheat\u003c\/strong\u003e, long run times and weak cooling, but a system only runs low because refrigerant went somewhere, so find and repair the leak first. Meter the charge in slowly on the \u003cstrong\u003elow side\u003c\/strong\u003e so it reaches the compressor as vapor, watch \u003cstrong\u003esuperheat\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esubcooling\u003c\/strong\u003e as you go, and confirm the cylinder valve matches your hose fitting before you start. Never mix \u003cstrong\u003eR-22\u003c\/strong\u003e with a retrofit refrigerant such as \u003cstrong\u003eR-407C\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eR-422B\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eR-438A\u003c\/strong\u003e, or with an \u003cstrong\u003eHFC\u003c\/strong\u003e like \u003cstrong\u003eR-410A\u003c\/strong\u003e; mixed refrigerant changes operating pressures and is difficult to reclaim. Recover any leftover refrigerant under \u003cstrong\u003eEPA Section 608\u003c\/strong\u003e rules instead of venting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService-Size Convenience:\u003c\/strong\u003e One \u003cstrong\u003e2 pound\u003c\/strong\u003e cylinder handles \u003cstrong\u003etop-offs\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eminor charge adjustments\u003c\/strong\u003e without opening a full-size cylinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRight Refrigerant for Legacy Systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matches equipment labeled \u003cstrong\u003eR-22\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHCFC-22\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFreon-22\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGenetron 22\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eForane 22\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no \u003cstrong\u003eglide\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003efractionation\u003c\/strong\u003e to manage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Flammable Refrigerant:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eASHRAE A1\u003c\/strong\u003e classification keeps handling straightforward on residential and commercial service calls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 in.
