R22 Refrigerant Applications

HVAC/R professionals continue to use R22 when servicing compatible existing air-conditioning and refrigeration systems originally designed for this refrigerant.

Typical service applications may include residential air-conditioning systems, commercial air-conditioning equipment, refrigeration systems, heat pumps, certain chillers, cold-storage equipment, and other existing HVAC/R systems specifically designed for R22.

Before selecting or charging any refrigerant, always verify the equipment manufacturer’s specifications and applicable regulations.

R22 Refrigerant Properties

EPA lists HCFC-22 with an ozone-depletion potential of 0.055 and an AR4 global-warming potential of 1,810.

R22 for Existing Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems

HVAC/R professionals use R22 to maintain and repair compatible existing equipment originally designed for HCFC-22.

For example, existing residential A/C, commercial cooling, refrigeration, and other R22 systems may continue operating and receiving appropriate service. EPA does not require owners to automatically replace an existing R22 system solely because of the HCFC-22 phaseout.

However, technicians should always confirm system specifications before servicing equipment.

R22 Phaseout and U.S. Service Use

The United States ended production and import of new HCFC-22 for normal refrigeration and air-conditioning servicing on January 1, 2020.

However, this does not mean existing R22 equipment must stop operating.

Previously produced R22 and properly reclaimed R22 may continue to support servicing and maintenance of existing equipment in accordance with applicable regulations. Therefore, buyers should use R22 only for legally permitted service applications and verify the refrigerant source and system requirements before use.

R22 Replacement and Retrofit Considerations

As R22 supplies have declined, many equipment owners have evaluated alternative refrigerants or complete equipment replacement.

However, there is no universal direct drop-in replacement for every R22 system.

Before converting an existing system, a qualified HVAC/R professional should evaluate compressor compatibility, lubricant requirements, expansion devices, operating pressures, seals, refrigerant charge, system capacity, manufacturer recommendations, and the EPA SNAP status of the proposed alternative.

Therefore, never assume that another refrigerant can simply be added to an R22 system without proper system evaluation.

U.S. Refrigerant Purchase Requirements

R22 refrigerant is subject to U.S. EPA refrigerant sales restrictions.

For stationary refrigeration and air-conditioning applications, purchasers generally must hold an appropriate EPA Section 608 technician certification or purchase on behalf of an organization that employs a properly certified technician.

Online refrigerant sellers are also responsible for verifying eligible purchasers and maintaining required sales records.

Important Use Information

Qualified HVAC/R professionals should handle, recover, charge, and use R22 in accordance with applicable EPA regulations, equipment manufacturer requirements, and established service procedures.

Always verify that R22 is specified for the equipment being serviced. Refrigerant should never be intentionally vented, and servicing should be performed by appropriately certified personnel where required.

For additional information regarding R22 servicing and the HCFC-22 phaseout, refer to the U.S. EPA HCFC-22 guidance.
