[8] Characteristics of the Conventional and the New Refrigerants
1. Chemical property
As with R22, the new refrigerant (R410A) is low in toxicity and chemically stable nonflammable refrigerant.
However, because the specific gravity of vapor refrigerant is greater than that of air, leaked refrigerant in a closed room will
accumulate at the bottom of the room and may cause hypoxia.
If exposed to an open flame, refrigerant will generate poisonous gases. Do not perform installation or service work in a con-
fined area.

*2 When CO

is used as a reference
2. Pressure characteristics
The pressure in the system using R410A is 1.6 times as great as that in the system using R22.
