R22 Condenser With R410a Air Handler

The r410a is a clear winner in terms of pressure applied in the air conditioner.

R22 condenser with r410a air handler.

R410a is a higher pressure system and r22 is a lower pressure system. To make a short story long r410a and r22 are refrigerants. With r410a units the installers must have there process dialed in tight. Can i use an r410a condenser with an r22 air handler.

Newer air conditioning models are designed to be used with r 410a for reliable and more efficient operation. A tech could do a poor job of installing the r22 condenser and the unit would last for 10 years or more. Though the r22 is available at a cheaper rate it is always better to use the r410a. Our r 421a air conditioner units use roughly the same pressure as r22 allowing you to keep your indoor units.

The r410a has much more advanced properties than that of any r22 refrigerant. They are both good refrigerants and they both work but they have to be charged in the system at different pressures. As of 2012 the heating ventilating and air conditioning hvac industry is in the process of changing over from ozone depleting r 22 refrigerant to environmentally friendlier r 410a refrigerant. By doing so you can keep your existing coil air handler line set and other indoor equipment.

Because r 410a can absorb and release more heat than r 22 your air conditioning compressor can run cooler reducing the risk of compressor burnout due to overheating. It is more effective for reducing global ozone layer depletion and also performs faster.
