R22 or 10A Refridgerant?

Hi all,

Thanks again for all your wisdom and guidance.. Just another question. In
purchasing my central air unit should I go with R22 refrigerant or the new
10A Puron (costing about $1k more)?

Thanks, C

You mean 410a ? :-)

I do see "R10a" mentioned from time to time, but methinks it is a
typo.

Go with R410A--R22 will eventually all get vented into the atmosphere
anyways....so why prolong the situation......

This is Turtle.

Your choice is for the old R-22 or the R-410-A the new freon being used.

If your installer is not very use to using R-410-A , I would not go with it. Be
straight with him and ask how he is versed with R-410-A . There is no must for
you to go with a new freon 410-A for the time limit for the totally going to
410-A is about 10 years off and you will still have freon 22 for a long time to
wear out your unit after that. So there is no NEED to jump now to 410-A if the
case does not need to be done right now.

At this time , The only reason i would say go with the new 410-A freon is if
your installer is very versed with this new freon. If not don't fool with it
right now. There is no must to go either way with the two freons yet.

Why? R410a is near-azeotropic, that is, it can be treated as
azeotropic, for all practical purposes, and so at least doesn't
suffer the anomalies of earlier blends, such as fractionation...

The bigger question should be: will R-290 come into the picture here
in the US, before the phase-out of HCFC's is complete? Deja-vu - I
believe I have asked this question before! R290 (propane) is a
drop-in for R22. R410a is a marketing gimmick, as was R409a, R407a,
R414b (hotshot), etc.

So we have valid arguments for both sides of the coin.

I get a kick out of this article - down near the bottom, the author
quotes:
"Don't vent that 22. You'll miss it someday."

The newer 10A stuff is, well, newer. I havn't worked with it. but, the guys
who have tell me there is a whole list of potential problems. Higher
operating pressures, and the lubricating oil sucks moisture out of the air.

As for me, I'd use the older R-22.
