Product Overview:

Choose SEASON R22 for servicing equipment originally designed to operate with R22 (HCFC-22) refrigerant. Chemically identified as chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF2), this refrigerant is supplied with purity greater than 99.9% in a larger 13.6 kg (30 lbs) cylinder suitable for professional and high-volume service needs.

Safety is critical: R22 is a compressed gas (gas under pressure) and must be handled, stored, and transported properly. High concentrations can act as an asphyxiant by displacing oxygen, so always use in well-ventilated areas and follow all label and SDS guidance.

Regulatory note: R22 is an ozone-depleting substance and is regulated in many markets, with rules varying by country and application.

Key Features:

• High purity: >99.9%
• Large cylinder size: 13.6 kg (30 lbs) for fewer changeovers
• Clear product identification: CAS 75-45-6, UN 1018
• For legacy systems: Intended for systems designed for R22 use (where permitted)

Applications:

• Residential & Commercial Air Conditioning: Common in older HVAC units
• Refrigeration: Used in industrial chillers, cold storage, and supermarket display cases
• Heat Pumps: Effective for older systems
• Industrial Cooling: Suitable for medium-to-low temperature industrial processes

Features and Benefits

• High Efficiency: Excellent heat transfer properties
• Wide Operating Range: Effective across diverse temperatures
• Stable Performance: Works well under high pressures
• Compatibility: Previously compatible with existing system components

Regulatory Phase-Out

• R22 production and import have been restricted or banned in many countries.
• Existing systems using R22 can continue operating but require retrofitting for future servicing.
• Alternatives such as R410A, R32, R407C, and R134a are recommended for new installations.

FAQs

1. What is R22?
   R22 is HCFC-22, also called chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF2), used in many older AC and refrigeration systems.
2. What are the identifiers for this product?
   CAS 75-45-6 and UN 1018.
3. What is the net weight of this SEASON R22 cylinder?
   13.6 kg (30 lbs).
4. What purity is SEASON R22?
   Listed as >99.9% purity.
5. Is R22 hazardous?
   Yes. It is a gas under pressure, and high concentrations can be hazardous if inhaled due to oxygen displacement.
6. Is R22 regulated?
   In many countries it is regulated because it is an ozone-depleting substance, and rules can vary by location and use case.
