3. Precautions for New Refrigerant (R-410A)
3.1
Outline
3.1.1 About Refrigerant R-410A
Characteristics of new refrigerant, R-410A
1. Performance
Almost the same performance as R-22 and R-407C
2. Pressure
Working pressure is approx. 1.4 times more than R-22 and R-407C.
3. Refrigerant composition
Few problems in composition control, since it is a Quasi-azeotropic mixture refrigerant.
∗
1. Non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant: mixture of 2 or more refrigerants having different boiling
points.
∗
2. Quasi-azeotropic mixture refrigerant: mixture of 2 or more refrigerants having similar boiling
points.
∗
3. The design pressure is different at each product. Please refer to the installation manual for
each product.
