R22

Note: R22 is a high GWP refrigerant and is being phased out. Please select a lower GWP substitute.

R22 is an ozone-depleting, non-flammable HCFC refrigerant being phased out in accordance with Australia’s obligation to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer.

The aim is to reduce supplies to nil by 2030

 

Characteristics

• R22 is considered an ‘end of life’ refrigerant
• R22 is being phased out as part of the HCFC phaseout, resulting in limitations being placed on imports, which consequentiality limits availability
• Systems designed for R22 are not suitable for R410A, as the system would need to be designed to handle the higher pressures
• Systems designed for R22 can be retrofitted to R407C, R422D, and R438A
• Alternatives to R22 include R134a, R404A, R407F, R448A and R410A
• Low GWP alternatives include R32 and R1234ze (only for new systems).
• Regular servicing of systems using R22 is essential to minimise leaks.
