R-507
Overall Concerns:
Discharge temperature is important - cant tolerate large increase. Higher discharge
pressure can affect controls. If oil return is not already a problem with R-502, the blends
will not necessarily make things worse. HFC blends will need POE. Most of the blends
have very low glide.
Retrofit Recommendations (in order of preference based on performance/ease of use):
R-408A Closest match to R-502 properties and performance. Slightly higher discharge
temperature
R-402A Higher discharge pressure, lower discharge temperature than R-408A
R-402B Similar discharge pressure, higher discharge temperature. Good for ice
machines. ***R-408A, R-402A and R-402B might have problems with oil
circulation and will benefit from at least a partial change to alkylbenzene.
They are also HCFC-based and are subject to leak repair regulations.***
R-422C Similar in pressure/temperature to R-502, but will show some loss in capacity.
Hydrocarbon components in the blend will promote mineral oil circulation in
some systems. Addition of POE may be required in larger systems for proper
oil return.
R-404A & R-507
Can be used to retrofit R-502 but mineral oil must be flushed with POE.
Options in New Equipment
R-407A Being used in some supermarkets as a lower GWP option.
R-404A & R-507
Off the shelf equipment (standard design). These two are interchangeable
with each other in new equipment.

R-507
Overall Concerns:
Capacity match to R-22 is important in capacity-critical applications. Storage
applications can tolerate a loss of capacity traded off for longer run times. TXV
operation and distributor capacity should be close to R-22 to avoid costly component
changes. All retrofit blends will operate at lower discharge temperatures than R-22.
R-407A Similar capacity and TXV/distributor/pressure drop performance.
R-407C Slightly lower capacity, similar TXV/distributor/pressure drop performance.
R-407A and R-407C will require a change from mineral oil to POE for proper
oil circulation. Partial POE replacement of mineral should work in most
systems.
R-422D Lower capacity, change in TXV/distributor/pressure drop performance.
R-422B Significant drop in capacity at lower temperatures, change in TXV/distributor/
pressure drop.
R-422C Higher capacity, TXV change. Similar to R-404A. All R-422 blends contain a
hydrocarbon that will promote mineral oil circulation in some systems.
Addition of POE may be required in larger systems for proper oil return.
R-404A & R-507
Can be used to retrofit, however mineral oil must be flushed, POE used
instead, and system components (TXVs, etc.) will need to be changed.
Options in New Equipment
R-407A Being used in some supermarkets as a lower GWP option.
R-404A & R-507
Off the shelf equipment (standard design). These two are interchangeable with each other in new equipment.

R-409A Better at lower temperatures, maintains performance, higher discharge
temperature and pressure.
R-414B Better at warmer temperatures, lower discharge temperature than R-409A.
R-401A Good overall performance, need AB oil below 30F coil temperatures.
R-401B Better at lower temperatures, needs AB oil to replace 50% mineral oil.

will produce lower discharge temperatures, but they will also lose some capacity
compared to the other R-12 retrofit products listed above.

Overall Concerns:
Keep component changes to a minimum (similar TXV or orifice size, minimize pressure
drop), maintain capacity unless the system is oversized enough to handle a drop in
capacity.
R-407C Lowest GWP, similar capacity and component operation (TXV/orifice).
R-422B or R-422D
Slight drop in capacity, possible change of components based on pressure
drop. Hydrocarbon components in the blends will promote mineral oil
circulation in some systems. Addition of POE may be required in larger systems
for proper oil return.
New equipment is designed around R-410A. Higher pressure and capacity exclude
R-410A from being used as a retrofit blend.

Existing R-114 high ambient A/C systems can be modified to use R-124. New
systems are available with R-134a. Centrifugal chillers require major equipment
upgrades to retrofit to another refrigerant. Chiller manufacturers will need to be
consulted for such jobs.

(5/26/39)
R-23
R-13 systems can be retrofitted to R-23 or R-508B. R-23 will have similar run-time
properties to R-13 but there will be higher discharge temperatures. R-503 systems
should use R-508B
R-403B has been successfully used in R-13B1 systems but the evaporator will likely
run under vacuum conditions.

Ultra-low temperature systems are used to achieve low temperature baths or boxes for laboratory
use, storage of pharmaceutical or biological samples, low temperature manufacturing of metals, or
extreme-temperature-environment testing.
The lowest temperature that can practically be achieved in single-stage refrigeration systems is
about -40F to -50F. A single-stage system is limited by the compression ratio of the compressor
and the ambient temperature in which it must condense the refrigerant. Temperatures from -50F
down to -120F or lower can only be achieved economically by using cascade refrigeration systems.
A typical cascade system is shown in Figure 1. A standard refrigeration system is used on the high
side (a) to create a cold temperature in the cascade condenser (b). The low side system (c) is able
to condense at -20F to -30F and evaporate as low as -120F with the available refrigerants before
they go into vacuum. Larger systems tend to have some kind of oil separator and oil management
system (d) to keep the oil in the compressor. Some systems also employ an expansion tank (e) to
keep the refrigerant from generating extreme pressures at room temperature when the system is off.

Oil Circulation: Standard refrigeration oils will become very thick at low temperatures and will not
flow around the system back to the compressor. If the compressor gets too cold, the oil will gel inside
the compressor sump and not provide lubrication. Many systems rely on the refrigerant to soak into
the oil and move it around the system. This method of oil circulation works well down to about -100F
evaporator temperature. In addition, systems with short run times will allow the oil to return to the
compressor when the evaporator warms.
Systems that run for longer times at colder temperatures, or involve complicated piping, will need to
use an oil separator after the low stage compressor(s). In addition, hydrocarbon refrigerants are
typically added to the system so they can soak into the oil and keep it fluid at very low temperatures.
The amount of hydrocarbon used is typically between 5 - 10% (by weight) of the refrigerant charge.

Moisture: Removal of moisture is more important in cascade systems than it is at higher temperature
ranges. Refrigerants such as R-22 and R-404A can absorb and carry much more water than the
10 ppm specification and the 30 to 50 ppm indication level of a sight glass. In contrast, R-13 is estimated to only hold about 0.1 ppm of water at -80F. Excess moisture will definitely separate from the
refrigerant and clog capillary tubes or cause other problems. Maintenance of driers is very important
in the low stage of a cascade system.
Expansion Volume: Refrigerants in the low stage must maintain normal operating pressures in the
compressor at very low temperatures. These refrigerants will condense around -30F to -20F at
pressures from 110 psig to 160 psig. When these refrigerants warm up to room temperature,
however, the saturation pressure, or in some cases the critical pressure, can exceed 700 psig.
Rather than going to the expense of building systems to withstand these pressures, an expansion
tank or other system volume is provided. The charge expands into the extra volume, allowing all
liquid to boil completely to vapor. Simple gas laws dictate how much volume is needed to keep the
charge at a gas pressure of usually no more than 250 psig. Consequently, systems are often charged
simply by bringing the empty system up to some static pressure.

Introduction to Retrofitting
Background
The components of a specific piece of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment have been
engineered specifically around the properties of the refrigerant used. When replacement of that
refrigerant becomes necessary for technical, regulatory, or economic reasons, the replacement
refrigerant should have as many properties similar to the original refrigerant as possible. This will
minimize hardware changes, controls adjustments, or other time consuming operations such as
oil changes.
Since the late 1980s, the development of blends has focused on matching the properties of the
original refrigerant in order to offer some advantage over the competing blends. Early R-12 blends
focused on evaporator performance in refrigeration systems; however, it became clear that more
R-12 was sold for use in automotive air conditioning rather than in refrigeration. Since these
systems experience higher condenser temperatures, a second wave of blends came into the
market that had lower head pressures.
Manufacturers introduced R-502 retrofit blends that simply removed the R-115, a CFC, and mixed
HFC components with R-22. While this approach was very effective at reducing R-502 use during
the transition away from CFCs in the mid 1990s, it now leaves equipment owners with the challenge
of replacing the HCFC-based blends again.
As early as 1992, manufacturers and suppliers of R-22 based air conditioning equipment were
looking for alternatives. While the focus was mainly on replacing R-22 for newly built equipment,
several retrofit blends were also identified in the process.
Today
2010 begins the first year of restriction on the use of R-22 in new equipment. Although R-22 will
still be available for servicing, available quantities will be more and more limited and the need for
retrofitting will increase. Some market applications, such as residential and commercial air conditioning, have not had to deal with the product restrictions that have occurred over the last 15 years.
They will now see many new products that behave dramatically different than R-22.
Blends Tutorial
The following information is designed to help technicians understand how blends are different
from single-component refrigerants. Fractionation and temperature glide are explained in a way
that shows the effect on system operation and controls. Actual products and their impact on the
market are discussed, and retrofit procedures are provided for a variety of products and equipment.

Single Components vs. Blends

By Convention, Higher Pressure Component is First (P*A > P*B )
Blends are made up of two or more single component refrigerants. When mixing refrigerants,
for example, refrigerant A and refrigerant B, we generally speak about the higher pressure,
higher capacity component first. For purposes of this tutorial, A will be the higher pressure product.
When two or more refrigerants are placed into the same container, one of two situations will
occur, depending on how strongly the different molecules are attracted to each other:
Azeotrope: a blend that behaves like a single component refrigerant. When a blend
forms an azeotrope, it displays unique and unexpected properties.
Zeotrope: a blend that behaves like a mixture of the individual components. Zeotropes
have predictable properties based on combinations of the pure components properties.
Two properties of concern are Fractionation and Temperature Glide. We can split the zeotropic
blends into Low Fractionation Potential, which also exhibit Low Temperature Glide, and High
Fractionation Potential, which also exhibit High Temperature Glide. Generally speaking, zeotropic
blends with lower temperature glides do not show the same problems with fractionation
that are seen with higher glide blends.

Azeotrope: a special case where the refrigerants combine in a unique way. In an azeotropic composition,
the blend behaves like a single refrigerant with its own pressure-temperature (P-T) relationship. The
pressure after mixing is either higher than the pressures of the individual components, or is lower than
either component. Because the refrigerants are attracted to each other in a special way, the vapor in
equilibrium with the liquid is at the same composition during phase change.
Note: The azeotropic composition depends on temperature. The same combination
of refrigerants may form an azeotrope at a different ratio, or not at all, at some other
temperature.
Zeotrope: the P-T relationship is a natural combination of the components properties. The pressure
for the blend falls between the pressures of its components and can be calculated according to
established formulas. Considering the P-T relationship for each refrigerant, the resulting pressure and
the vapor composition above the liquid for any given liquid composition can be calculated.
In general, if a lot of A is mixed with B, then the blend will have a pressure close to A. If more B is in the
mix, then the blend will have a pressure close to B. If you mix equal amounts, the resulting pressure will
fall in between. Blend compositions can be adjusted so the blend properties fall exactly where you want.
The problem, however, is that you usually cant get all the properties to match the original refrigerant
under all conditions. You must trade off which properties you want to match and which ones that will
be different.

Temperature
Once a blend is mixed at a given composition, the pressure-temperature relationships follow

the same general rules for pure components; for example, the pressure goes up when the
temperature goes up. For three blends containing different amounts of A and B, the pressure
curve is similarly shaped, but the resulting pressure will be higher for the blend which contains
more of the A (higher pressure) component.
Refrigerant blends that are intended to match some other product (R-22, for example) will rarely
match the pressure at all points in the desired temperature range. More commonly, the pressure
of the blend will match in one temperature range, but will be different elsewhere.
In the above example, the blend with concentration C1 matches the pure refrigerant at cold
evaporator temperatures, but the pressure runs higher at condenser conditions. The blend with
composition C2 matches closer to room temperature and, for example, might show the same
pressure in a cylinder being stored. The operating pressures at evaporator and condenser
temperatures, however, will be somewhat different. Finally, the blend at C3 will generate the same
pressures at hot condenser conditions, but the evaporator must run at lower pressures to get the
same temperature. The choice of where the blend matches the pressure relationship can solve
(or cause) certain retrofit-related problems.
The other thing that can be seen from this graph is that if a blend loses some of the higher-pressure
component through fractionation, the remaining blend will have lower operating pressures in
order to achieve the same temperatures.(*)

(less movement)
There are two basic behaviors of refrigerant molecules that will help explain why fractionation
occurs.
1. Pure refrigerants, A or B, exert pressure on the cylinder (or a system) because the molecules
are moving around. At higher temperatures, they move around faster, which creates more
pressure. At lower temperatures there is less movement, so the pressure is lower.
Different refrigerants have different energies at the same temperature, and
therefore, generate higher or lower pressures.
2. Molecules of refrigerant are constantly moving from liquid to vapor and vapor to liquid at the
surface of the liquid. Vapor and liquid at equilibrium transfer the same number of molecules
back and forth; boiling liquid transfers more from liquid to vapor; and condensing vapor
transfers more from vapor to liquid.
Different refrigerants transfer molecules back and forth to the vapor at different rates.
When you mix A and B together, and they dont form an azeotrope, the individual refrigerant
molecules behave as if the other type is not there. The As bounce harder than the Bs, contributing more pressure to the blend, but more importantly - the As transfer back and forth to the
vapor faster than the Bs. This means there are more As in the vapor than there are Bs.

When vapor is removed from a cylinder or system containing a zeotropic blend, two things are
going to happen: 1) the vapor being removed is at the wrong composition, so it will have more of
the higher pressure/higher capacity refrigerant component; and 2) the liquid that is left behind boils
more of the higher pressure component out of the liquid to replace the vapor. Eventually, the liquid
composition changes because more of the A component leaves the container or system compared
to the bulk liquid composition.
FRACTIONATION is the change in composition of a blend because one (or more) of
the components is lost or removed faster than the other(s).
A large difference between the pressures of the starting components will cause a greater difference
in the vapor composition compared to the liquid composition. This will worsen the effect of fractionation on that blend. The High Fractionation Potential blend shown above will produce a vapor
composition of 80% A and 20% B above the liquid composition of 50/50.
Molecules will transfer back and forth to the vapor at a similar rate when the pressures of the individual
components are close to each other. The Low Fractionation Potential blend shown above will have a
very similar vapor composition compared to the liquid. In this case, it will take a long time to noticeably
change the liquid composition away from 50/50.
Temperature Glide will be higher for High Fractionation blends, and lower for Low Fractionation blends.

To avoid charging the wrong composition and fractionating the remaining blend, zeotropic blends
must be removed from the cylinder as a liquid. This can be done by turning the cylinder over so the
valve is on the bottom. For larger cylinders with two valves, use the liquid valve. Liquid refrigerant
will come up through a dip tube to the valve.
* All refrigerant suppliers have removed dip tubes in their 30 lb. packages.
Check the box or cylinder label for instructions on which side should be up for
liquid removal.
Liquid charging does not mean that liquid refrigerant should be pushed into the suction line of
the system, allowing it to slug the compressor. After the initial charge into the high side of a
system, the technician should start the compressor and complete the charging process by flashing
the refrigerant from liquid to vapor in the charging hose or across specially designed valves. Any
method that allows the refrigerant to go to vapor before it hits the compressor should work.
Generally, the refrigerant needs to be added slowly at this point.
Please note: When liquid and vapor are together in a cylinder or in a system, IT IS ALWAYS THE
VAPOR THAT WILL BE AT THE WRONG COMPOSITION.

A system at rest will allow the refrigerant to pool and the vapor to come to an equilibrium concentration
above the liquid. Leaks that occur in vapor areas of the equipment will fractionate the blend. The
worst case will occur when about half of the refrigerant charge has leaked. Small amounts leaked from
a system will not change the remaining blend by much. Large leaks will shift the composition, but the
majority of the pounds after recharge will be from fresh product at the correct composition.
Recharging the system after repair will result in a blend with slightly reduced capacity and operating
pressures. In smaller systems, where charge size is critical, it will be best to recover any remaining
refrigerant and charge with fresh blend. In larger systems, you will need to make a decision whether the
remaining charge should be recovered or not. Note: for Low Fractionation Potential blends you will not
see much shift in composition anyway, and therefore the charge can be topped off after repair without
loss of properties.
In running systems it has been found that the circulating composition is the original blend composition.
In liquid and suction lines there is no second phase, and in the heat exchangers there is much turbulence
so leaks will lose both vapor and liquid. Testing has shown that leaks from a running system do not
cause fractionation, and a normally cycling system will not fractionate much during the off cycle.
In other words, in most refrigeration applications, servicing systems with blends does not require full recovery of the charge. After repair, most systems can be topped off with the blend. In most air conditioning
systems, however, a leak during the off season will likely require a full change of refrigerant charge.

Flooded Evaporators are designed to keep a pool of boiling liquid refrigerant surrounding a bundle of
tubes. The water, brine, or product to be cooled flows through the tubes. The vapor that boils off this
pool is returned to the compressor, condensed, and then poured back into the pool.
In the case of zeotropic blends, the vapor that boils off this pool of refrigerant will be at the fractionated composition. If the properties at this composition differ significantly from what the compressor
expects, then the system could develop high head pressures, high amperage draw at the compressor,
reduced cooling effectiveness (capacity) in the evaporator, etc. Normally the use of blends in this type
of system is not recommended.
Suction Accumulators are placed in the suction line before the compressor to keep liquid from flowing
into the compressor. The liquid slug is trapped in the accumulator where it can boil off to vapor,
combining with other suction gas. Zeotropic blends will fractionate in the accumulator, giving a
short-lived spike of higher-pressure vapor back to the compressor.
Systems with suction accumulators should not be overcharged with the expectation that the
accumulator will protect the compressor. (This may lead to frequent pressure spikes.) Also, this type
of system should never be charged by dumping liquid refrigerant into the suction line and allowing
it to vaporize in the accumulator. (High pressure trips may occur.)

Lets assume that a blend of 50% A refrigerant and 50% B refrigerant flows across a valve into an
evaporator coil. If we follow a small piece of the blend as it flows along the tube we can see the
effect of fractionation:
1.
At the beginning of the tube the blend is mostly liquid with a few bubbles in it. The liquid
composition is 50/50 and the boiling point is (for purposes of discussion ) 40F.
2.
As the piece of refrigerant marches along the tube, more liquid is boiled to vapor. Since
A transfers to vapor faster than B, a larger proportion of A (than B) is transferred to vapor.
This makes the composition of the liquid change along the length of the tube. In this
example, the piece of blend which started at 50/50, now has a liquid composition at
37% A and 63% B. (The vapor has the extra A - at 65%.) The important point is that the
boiling temperature of the current liquid composition is now about 45F.
3.
When our piece of the blend gets to the end of the evaporator it is now almost all vapor.
This vapor contains almost all of the refrigerant that we started with at the beginning of
the tube, so the composition is almost back to 50/50. The last few remaining drops are
now concentrated in the B component (about 75% in this example). The boiling point of
this liquid composition is now about 50F.
Overall Temperature Glide: The difference in temperature between the Saturated Vapor blend
at the end of the evaporator and the liquid entering the evaporator is 50F-40F = 10F.

For pure refrigerants, the evaporator coil is at a constant temperature throughout. For blends,
however, the temperature glide causes the tubing to be at different temperatures.
If you stand back and blow a fan across the evaporator coil, the air that blows out the other side
looks like it saw an average temperature. Part of the evaporator is colder, and part is warmer, but the
air mixes and generally gives the equivalent house or box temperature as if it passes over a constant
temperature coil at this average. There are, however, some potential problems that can occur:
The colder part of the coil may form frost faster than an equivalent coil at constant temp.
The warmer part of the coil may cause hot spots in the case or cold box, affecting product quality.
Temperature control sensors located in hot or cold spots may affect cycle times.
Ice machines will produce thicker ice on the bottom of the plate and thinner ice at the top.
TXV sensor bulbs located at the outlet of the evaporator will now see warmer gas.
Generally the temperature glide does not affect the systems ability to remove heat from the air
or from product, but the glide will probably affect some of the systems controls. Superheat
settings and pressure controls will be discussed further.
Frost formation and hot or cold spots must be addressed outside the refrigeration loop (defrost
strategies, product placement, etc.). Making the whole coil warmer or colder will change the
overall air or box temperature, not solve the glide-related problem.

ICE MACHINE TEST RESULTS

Various R-12 retrofit blends were tested in an R-12 ice machine. The picture above represents a
side-view of the plate as the water freezes.
For R-12, the water froze in a nearly constant thickness all the way down the plate. The evaporator,
mounted on the back side of the plate, held a constant 10F along the entire length. The ice thickness
sensor was located at about row 3.
For each of the blends tested, R-401A, R-409A and R-414B, the glide of the blend caused the lower
portion of the plate to be from 8F to 13F colder than the upper portion of the plate. The top rows
did not fill in as quickly as the bottom, and the overall ice bank that formed was weighted more
towards the lower portion of the plate.
The ice machine was still operating at the same suction pressure and was generating the same
30 ounces of ice every 20 minutes. The biggest difference was the setting of the thickness sensor.
For the first run, the machine did not shut off because the ice surface near the 3rd row was not
forming as fast as the lower portion of the plate. When the sensor was adjusted inward to take this
into account, the machine ran fine.

The process of phase change (boiling or condensing) is the same for blends as it is for pure refrigerants:
Boiling: liquid reaches a temperature where bubbles form and then the liquid boils to vapor.
When the last drops of liquid disappear, any additional heat input causes the vapor to
superheat.
Condensing: vapor cools to a temperature where liquid drops start to form, then the vapor
condenses to liquid. When the last of the vapor disappears, any additional removal of heat
causes the liquid to subcool.
When these phase changes occur in a pure refrigerant, at constant pressure, the temperature stays
constant at what we normally call the boiling point.
For blends the process is the same but, the shift in composition during phase change causes the
temperature glide to occur. The vapor will still superheat and the liquid will still subcool; however,
the Saturated Vapor temperature and the Saturated Liquid temperature are now the temperatures
at the ends of the temperature glide for a given pressure.
Saturated Liquid = Bubble Point (Liquid with bubbles starting to form)

Pressure-Temperature (PT) charts traditionally have listed the temperature in the left column and
pressures for various refrigerants in the remaining columns. For blends, we now need two columns
per refrigerant: one for Vapor Pressures and one for Liquid pressures.
Note: You should not read a PT chart across - heat exchanges run at constant pressure,
not constant temperature.
Superheat Setting: the process for obtaining superheat is the same as it has always been - measure
the temperature on the suction line, for example, at the TXV bulb. To find the saturated vapor
temperature you measure the suction pressure, and then refer to the PT chart for the corresponding
temperature. For blends you must use the Vapor (Dew Point) column. Subtract the saturated
temperature from the measured temperature to get the amount of superheat.
Subcooling: the process for obtaining subcooling is also the same as it has been - measure the
temperature of the line at the point of interest. To find the saturated temperature of the liquid you
measure the pressure on the condenser, and then refer to the PT chart for the corresponding temperature. For blends you must use the Liquid (Bubble Point) column. Subtract the measured value
from the saturated value to get degrees of subcooling.
Keep in mind the state of the refrigerant (liquid or vapor) where the measurement is being taken to
determine which column you need to use. Also keep in mind that the only practical place that you
find saturated vapor, at the correct composition, is at the end of the evaporator when measuring
superheat. Do not use the vapor column when liquid is present, since the vapor is at the wrong
composition.

Assume a refrigeration system has been retrofitted from a single component refrigerant to a blend
with a temperature glide of about 10F. The blend will run with an average evaporator temperature
that matches the constant evaporator temperature of the refrigerant that was replaced. About half
of the glide is making the front of the evaporator colder, and the other half of the glide is making the
back of the evaporator warmer. The outlet is about 5F warmer than it used to be.
The TXV bulb has not been adjusted, and it was initially set for 7F superheat above the saturated
temperature of the original refrigerant. With the blend, the same average evaporator temperature
is achieved - but now this only provides 2F of superheat above the blends vapor temperature.
If the safety margin provided by the superheat setting is reduced too far, it is possible that the
refrigerant may flood back to the compressor. In many cases, reducing the superheat by 4F or 5F
may not be a problem, but, it is always a good idea to check the superheat to make sure.
Some R-12 retrofit blends have as high as 14F glide -- enough to completely overcome an original
superheat setting of 7F. Many of the current R-22 retrofit blends have temperature glides from
5F to 10F.
See pages 102 - 104 for a more detailed discussion of TXV operation after retrofitting.

For air conditioning, the effects of temperature glide will be somewhat less severe. Using the
same blend with a 10F glide, this example looks at the effects of temperature glide using typical
superheat settings for an air conditioner (10F to 15F).
The blend will run with an average evaporator temperature that matches the constant evaporator
temperature of the refrigerant that was replaced. About half of the glide is making the front of the
evaporator colder, and the other half of the glide is making the back of the evaporator warmer.
The outlet will be 5F warmer than it used to be.
The TXV bulb has not been adjusted, and it was initially set for 15F superheat above the saturated
temperature of the original refrigerant. With the blend, the same average evaporator temperature
is achieved - but now the superheat drops to 10F.
For most running conditions this should not be an immediate problem; however, air conditioners
are critically charged to cover the worst case scenario of a hot day and cool house. In this case,
the refrigerant is in danger of flooding back from the evaporator so correct superheat settings will
be important. If the valve is adjustable, then superheat should be increased to compensate for the
glide. If not, the system should be charged with slightly less refrigerant than the indicated amount.

Cut In / Cut Out Pressure Control
Using Blends
R-12: Running System
Blend: Running System
Cut Out pressure=15 psig

Corresponds to 10F boiling temp
Cut Out pressure=15 psig

Corresponds to 10Favg. evap. temp
R-12: System is Off
Blend: System is Off
Cut In pressure=35 psig

Corresponds to 38F Liquid Pool temp
Cut In pressure=45 psig

Corresponds to 38F Liquid Pool temp
With R-12, a Cut In/Cut Out Pressure Control work as follows:
The R-12 coil gets down to about 10F and the pressure is about 15 psig. This means the
box temperature is somewhere in the 20s F. The pressure switch knows the box is cold
enough and it turns off the compressor.
Liquid R-12 pools in the evaporator coil and warms up to box temperature. As the box
warms to about 38F, the R-12 in the coil generates 35 psig and the pressure switch turns
the system on again.
With the R-12 Retrofit Blends, the control works similarly:
The average blend coil temperature gets down to about 10F at about 15 to 16 psig
(depending on the blend). The box temperature is about the same as it was with R-12,
and the pressure switch shuts off the system.
LIQUID blend settles in the coil and warms to box temperature. The blends have higher
liquid pressures than R-12 - if no adjustment is made, the pressure switch will kick the
system back on at 35 psig. For R-401A, this happens at 29F; for R-406A it is 32F; for
R-409A it is 27F; for R-414B it is 28F; and for R-416A it is 43F. Most of the blends will
turn the system on too cold, and short cycling will cause the system to freeze up.
You will need to check the liquid pressure at 38F and reset the cut in pressure accordingly.
(Note: the vapor is at the wrong composition; do not use the vapor column.)

R-134a: At first look, R-134a pressures match R-12 pretty well, but other properties show that R-134a
needs larger equipment to perform the same job (higher compressor displacement and more surface
area in the condenser). In effect, R-134a in an R-12 system has lower capacity and higher discharge
pressures than expected. In addition, it requires POE flushing to remove mineral oil during a retrofit.
R-401A and R-401B: These are R22 based blends that tend to have higher temperature glide.
The presence of R-152a, an HFC, hurts miscibility with mineral oil. It is recommended to change
some of the mineral oil to alkylbenzene unless it is a hermetic system running at warmer temperatures. R-401A matches R-12 capacity at around 20F evaporator; warmer conditions will begin
to show effects from being over-capacity (higher amperage draw, shorter cycle times). R-401B offers
a boost in capacity at lower temperatures (-30F).
R-409A: This R-22 based-blend has higher temperature glide. It has moderate miscibility with mineral
oil, and generally offers good oil return in systems down to 0F evaporator. R-12 capacity match is
about 10F and it still works well at lower evaporator temperatures. Higher discharge temperatures
and pressures can develop, especially in warmer applications.
R-414B: This R-22 based blend has been formulated to keep the head pressure down. It is approved
for automotive applications, although nylon barrier hoses and special fittings are required. In refrigeration equipment there may be a drop in capacity at colder temperatures.
R-416A : This R-134a based blend has an added HCFC component that keeps the head pressure
lower upon retrofit. There will be a drop in capacity compared to R-12, which could be significant
in colder applications. Lower suction pressures must also be taken into account. This blend also has
lower temperature glide. The manufacturer claims it is OK to use with mineral oil, however the blend
does not actually mix with the oil (return is helped by a hydrocarbon component.) Adding POE
lubricant is recommended for more complicated piping arrangements.

R-407A and R-407C: Both products have the closest capacity and run-time property match to
R-22. All products will have lower discharge temperatures than R-22. R-407A is a closer
match at lower application temperatures, such as in commercial refrigeration applications. R-407C
will work better in medium temperature and air conditioning applications. Replacement of mineral
oil with polyolester (POE) is recommended
R-422B and R-422D: These blends will have lower capacity than R-22 in the same system, and
in many cases there will be an increase in pressure drop that may require changing TXVs or distributors. They contain hydrocarbons that will help circulate mineral oil in smaller systems.
Larger systems, especially ones with receivers, will need addition of POE to help keep the mineral
oil from being stranded.
R-404A and R-507: These blends can be used to retrofit R-22 systems that would otherwise be
able to run R-404A , such as in commercial refrigeration applications. TXVs would need to be
changed to the appropriate R-404A model. Discharge pressures would also increase, although
discharge temperatures would come down. An oil change to POE is also required.
R-422C: This blend can be used to retrofit low temperature R-22 systems. The performance
characteristics (pressure/temperature) will look much like R-404A, but with a drop in capacity of
up to 10%. The hydrocarbon additive will help circulate mineral oil around the system. In larger
systems, however, some oil holdup may occur in the receiver. Addition of POE will solve this problem.

R-402A and R-402B: R-402A shows higher discharge pressures than R-502, however the
discharge temperature is lower. R-402B is a closer match in pressure, but the discharge
temperature runs higher (this is good for ice machines, which is where R-402B is primarily used).
Although propane is added to improve oil circulation, it is still recommended to replace some
mineral oil with alkylbenzene oil.
R-408A: R-408A has the closest PT match to R-502 across the whole application range. It also has
very low temperature glide. R-408A does generate higher discharge temperatures than R-502, and
this could be a problem in extreme application conditions, such as transport refrigeration in hot
climates. R-408A can be used in most refrigeration systems.
R-404A and R-507: These two blends are virtually the same in terms of operation and equipment.
In a retrofit situation, they will require POE flushing to be performed. They will also generate higher
discharge pressures. Generally speaking, retrofitting with these HCFC blends will add more complexity
and cost to a retrofit job, especially when compared to using one of the other blends.
R-422C : This blend can be used to retrofit low temperature R-22 systems. The performance
characteristics (pressure/temperature) will look much like R404A, but with a drop in capacity of up
to 10%. The hydrocarbon additive will help circulate mineral oil around the system. In larger systems,
however, some oil holdup may occur in the receiver. Addition of POE oil will solve this problem.

1.
For centrifugal compressors, it is recommended that the manufacturers engineering staff
become involved in the project - special parts or procedures may be required. This will
ensure proper capacity and reliable operation after the retrofit.
2.
Most older, direct expansion systems can retrofit to R-401A, R-409A, R-414B or R-416A
(R-500 to R-401B or R-409A), as long as there are not components that will cause
fractionation within the system to occur.
3.
Filter driers should be changed at the time of conversion.
4.
System should be properly labeled with refrigerant and lubricant type.

General Retrofit Procedure: Centrifugal, Reciprocating AC and Refrigeration Systems
1.
If the system is able to run -- collect system data and operating conditions prior to retrofit.
2.
Isolate the compressor and recover the R-12. Change the lubricant in the compressor to
polyolester (POE). For hermetic compressors this may require removal of the compressor.
3.
Replace any oil in auxiliary components such as oil separators or oil feed systems.
4.
Close the system and run with R-12 for 24 hours to circulate the POE and flush the mineral
oil back to the compressor.
5.
Repeat steps 2-4 until residual mineral oil level is below manufacturers recommendations
(typically 5%). (If the unit is not operational, then perform the oil flushing procedure
immediately after startup with R-134a.)
6.
Recover the R-12 from the entire system.
7.
Perform any maintenance, repair, or component replacements, and change filter/driers.
8.
Evacuate the system to manufacturers specifications.
9.
Charge the system with the proper amount of R-134a (usually 85% to 90% of the
original R-12 charge by weight).
10.
Operate the system and record new system operation data. Make adjustments to controls
as needed to ensure proper operation.
11.
Label the system with the new refrigerant and lubricant type.

5th Edition 2010
Sizing Thermostatic Expansion Devices (TXV)

Some refrigerants will have very similar run-time capacity and pressure drop across a TXV while others
may be different enough from R-22 that the valve will become undersized. TXV capacity is determined
by: (1) three system conditions: evaporator refrigerant saturation temperature, liquid refrigerant temperature entering the TXV and the pressure drop across the TXV port, and (2) thermodynamic properties
of the refrigerant.
It cannot be assumed that the TXV capacity will remain the same after converting a R-22 system to an
alternative refrigerant because in some cases the TXV capacity will be reduced when used with the
alternative refrigerant. Since each refrigerant has its own pressure/temperature characteristics, some
R-22 alternative refrigerants might require the use of a TXV with a R-404A thermostatic element.
Regardless of whether the TXV is replaced, for maximum evaporator efficiency, the superheat should be
checked and set to the equipment manufacturers specification.
The nominal capacity of a Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) is simply the capacity at the conditions
it is rated. For high pressure refrigerants, such as R-22 or its alternatives, the AHRI industry standard
rating point is: 40F evaporator temperature, 100F liquid temperature, and a 100 psi pressure drop
across the TXV port. If any of these conditions change, the valves capacity will also change.
Table 1 shows the capacities of a nominal 2 ton R-22 TXV when used with R-22, R-407A, and R-407C.
Capacities are shown at varying evaporator temperatures, but in each instance the standard rating
conditions of 100F liquid temperature and a 100 psi pressure drop across the TXV port are used
in conjunction with the various evaporator temperatures. Note the highlighted nominal capacities
for the three refrigerants listed and how they differ. This is the result of differing thermodynamic
properties between the three refrigerants.

If a specific application is utilizing a liquid temperature or pressure drop across the TXV port which
is different than the AHRI rating condition, the correction factors in Table 2 and/or Table 3 would be
applied to the capacity listed in Table 1 to determine the actual TXV capacity.

For example: An R-22 application, operating at +20F is being retrofitted to R-407C. The evaporator capacity is 24,000 Btu/hr and the evaporator has a nominal 2 ton R-22 TXV installed. The
application is designed to operate at 100F condensing, with a 90F liquid temperature.
The nominal capacity of the TXV for R-407C can be calculated as follows:
Nominal capacity at +20F (from Table1): 1.97 tons.
Corrected for liquid temperature at 90F (from Table 2): 1.97 x 1.07 = 2.10 tons.
To determine the correct pressure drop across the TXV port, the difference between the corresponding pressures at the condensing temperature and evaporator pressure must be used:
223 psi (100F condenser saturation) - 37 psi (20F evaporator saturation ) = 186 psi.
The pressure drop through the refrigerant distributor and feeder tubes, the evaporator, and the
frictional line loss in the piping between the condenser (where the pressure value is determined
based on the condenser saturation temperature) and the TXV inlet must also be considered
when determining the actual pressure drop across the TXV port.
For this example, we will assume
the above
mentioned
pressure drop to be 36 psi.
Liquid
Correction
Factors
The actual pressure drop across the TXV port will be: 186 psi - 36 psi = 150 psi.
Actual TXV capacity at the design condition for this application:

2.10 tons (corrected for liquid temperature) x 1.10 (from Table 3) = 2.31 tons.
This would represent the TXV capacity at the design condition in the summer time.
To ensure that the TXV has sufficient capacity, a similar sizing exercise must be undertaken at
the low ambient condensing temperature expected in the winter months. If the system utilizes
fan cycling or head pressure control valves and fixes the minimum condensing temperature at
70F (137.5 psi), the TXV capacity will also need to be considered at this condition.
103
5th Edition 2010
For most applications the correction factors listed in Table 4 can be used to determine if the
existing R22- TXV will have sufficient capacity when used with the retrofit refrigerant of choice.

A service fee is charged when cylinders are taken for use by customer.
Cylinder deposits are credited back to customer upon return of cylinder.
Drums for low pressure refrigerant recovery are rated as single trip containers, therefore
they are purchased outright.
National uses its own on-site DOT approved hydrostatic testing equipment. All cylinders are
shipped under vacuum. For the users protection, a plastic shrink wrap covers the valve.
Please read Filling Procedures and Safety Recommendations to ensure proper transfer of
recovered refrigerant in to containers.
National reserves the right to charge a cylinder cleaning fee for cylinders used as receivers
or returned less than 50% full.

pump to pull cylinder into full vacuum. For all cylinders,

leak test with a vacuum gauge. Do not fill a leaking cylinder.
NRI is not responsible for refrigerant recovered into a leaking
cylinder.
2. Place the container on a scale. Note empty weight of container
to determine maximum gross weight. Add the corresponding

maximum refrigerant weight to the tare weight to get the
maximum allowable gross shipping weight. (See guidelines
for Maximum Shipping Weight.)
3. Connect transfer hoses to the container. Make certain hoses
are leak free. If possible, change hoses when recovering

different types of refrigerant to avoid contamination by
unintentionally mixing refrigerants.
4. Open container outlets and begin the transfer process fol-
lowing manufacturers instructions for the recovery unit.

DO NOT LEAVE THE CONTAINER UNATTENDED.
Do not fill more than 80% by volume. It is illegal to
transport an overfilled cylinder.

RECOVERED REFRIGERANT
HANDLING FEES
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
1.
Customers returning recovery cylinders containing recovered refrigerant will be charged a handling fee according
to the current price schedules.
2.
Free standing water

Water exceeding saturation point of refrigerant; requires
special processing to separate the water from the refrigerant; waste must be sent to waste water processing
facility for purification.
1. Only fill cylinders that are currently DOT approved for
fluorocarbon refrigerants. Always inspect the cylinder

for proper pressure rating and latest hydrostatic test
date. Thoroughly check each cylinder and drum for
dents, gouges, bulges, cuts or other imperfections,
which may render it unsafe to hold refrigerant.
2. It is highly recommended to read the Air Conditioning,
Heating & Refrigeration Institute Guideline K -Guideline for Containers for Recovered Fluorocarbon
Refrigerants."
3.
Excessive oil content

Refrigerant oil (mineral or synthetic) that exceeds ARI
Acceptance Specification (10% for high pressure; 30%
for low pressure): fee will be charged for each pound of
oil exceeding Acceptance Specifications.
4.
High acid content

Acid present in the refrigerant at such a concentration
that the pH level of the material is between 2.0 and 5.0
(a pH level below 2.0 would classify the material as hazardous waste according the 40CFR); such material must
be handled as a priority in order to effectively neutralize
the acid in the material
5.
Over-filled container
Cylinders and drums exceeding the maximum Gross
Weight as specified in NRIs Cylinder Weight Chart that
require special handling; these containers must be
handled as a priority as soon as they are received to
prevent injury to NRI or other persons and to prevent
the release of the material in the container to the
atmosphere.
3. Be sure all connections are made tight before
transferring refrigerant into containers. Be sure all

closures are made tight on the container immediately
after filling. Be sure to replace valve outlet caps on
cylinders.
4. Caution: Liquid refrigerant can cause frostbite if skin
contact occurs. Be aware that the refrigerant/oil being

removed from a system may contain contaminants,
which may be harmful to breathe. Avoid contact with
skin. Always provide fresh air when working in
enclosed areas. Avoid breathing vapors. Always
wear safety glasses and gloves (cold resistant for
pressurized refrigerants and rubber-type for R11,
R113 & R123). Avoid contact with clothing.

Back Flow Prevention Valves

EZ ONE-SHOT cylinders are equipped with
back flow prevention devices inside the valves.
THE CYLINDERS ARE SHIPPED WITH THE
VALVES OPEN.
Cylinders must be evacuated before use, but after
hoses are connected.
Once the cylinder valve is closed for the first
time, the back flow prevention device seats in the
valve. No more refrigerant can be added to the
cylinder through that valve.
Be sure that all recovery operations are complete
before closing both valves to the cylinder.
One-Time Fill
One-time fill means that once refrigerant has been put
into the cylinder and then removed, the cylinder may
no longer be used for further recovery operations. It
must be scrapped or disposed of properly. Recovering
refrigerant with an EZ ONE-SHOT recovery cylinder
is considered the first filling operation. Recovery from
several units, one after the other, until the cylinder is
full represents one filling operation (for example, a
dedicated shop machine).
EZ ONE-SHOT recovery cylinders are subject to the same regulations as the disposable refrigerant cylinders that refrigerant is
supplied in. Federal law forbids transportation if REFILLED. Federal law also requires that cylinders be filled and transport ed in the
box provided. Penalty up to $500,000 fine and 5 years imprisonment (49 U.S.C. 5124).

Procedures for Using EZ ONE-SHOT Recovery Cylinder
Figure 1: Evacuate Cylinder
If performing liquid recovery, arrange hoses as in
dicated in Fig. 2.
If performing vapor recovery, arrange hoses as
indicated in Fig. 3.
Evacuate cylinder with vacuum pump through a
gauge set placed in the vapor line, or through an
access port on the recovery machine, if available.
Do not close cylinder valves.

Figure 2: Liquid Recovery
Recovery machine draws vapor from the cylinder and
uses this vapor to push liquid out of the system back
into the cylinder.
Vapor valve is at top of cylinder
Liquid valve is at bottom

If also performing vapor recovery:
Close liquid valve when the sight glass clears,

BEFORE turning off the recovery machine.
Use gauge set on vapor line to transfer hoses on

recovery machine to configuration in Fig. 3.
Figure 3: Vapor Recovery

Vapor recovery operations are performed normally,
with access to the cylinder only through the vapor
valve. Close bottom valve on cylinder.
Complete all recovery operations, including purging
procedures for the recovery unit, before closing the
vapor valve.
Once cylinder valves are closed no more refrigerant can be added to the cylinder.

Glossary of Terms
Alkylbenzene Oil - A synthetic refrigeration
oil similar to mineral oil; it offers better low
temperature mixing with HCFCs.
Class II - Chemicals listed in the Clean Air Act

having an ozone depletion potential of less
than 0.2. All of the HCFCs are considered
Class II.
Appliance - Any device that contains and uses

a Class I or Class II substance as a refrigerant
and is used for household or commercial
purposes, including any air conditioner,
refrigerator, chiller or freezer.
Commercial Refrigeration - The refrigeration

appliances used in the retail food and cold
storage warehouse sectors. Retail food
includes the refrigeration equipment found in
supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants
and other food service establishments. Cold
storage includes the equipment used to store
meat, produce, dairy, and other perishable
goods, usually in very large facilities.
Azeotrope - A mixture of two or more

refrigerants that acts as a single fluid. The
components of azeotropic mixtures will not
separate under normal operating conditions.
Blend - A mixture of two or more refrigerant
components.
Direct Expansion - A system design that

meters refrigerant into the evaporator with
the intention that it will all boil to vapor by
the time it reaches the end. Orifice plates,
capillary tubes, automatic expansion valves,
and TXVs are all expansion devices that
provide for direct expansion of refrigerant
in the evaporator.
Brazed - Joined by fusion using very high

heat; equivalent of hard soldering.
Capacity - The measure of heat energy
removed by a system per hour. The capacity
is very dependent on running and ambient
conditions and it is typically quoted for a
compressor or system at some standard
rating condition.
Disposal - The process leading to and

including (1) the discharge, deposit, dumping
or placing of any discarded appliance into or
on any land or water, (2) the disassembly of
any appliance for discharge, deposit, dumping
or placing of its discarded component parts
into or on any land or water, or (3) the disassembly of any appliance for reuse of its
component parts.
Centrifugal Air Conditioning - Compressor

technology used in larger air conditioning
chillers, based on a rotating impeller to spin
refrigerant to a higher pressure/temperature.
CFC - Chloro-Fluoro-Carbon; a refrigerant
comprised of carbon atoms connected to
only chlorine and fluorine atoms. The
common CFCs are R-11, R-12, R-13, R-113,
R-114 and R-115.
Efficiency - Ratio of the work output to the

energy input.
Elastomer - Material which can be stretched
or squeezed and, immediately on release of
the stress, returns to its approximate
dimensions.
Class I - Chemicals listed in the Clean Air Act

having an ozone depletion potential of 0.2 or
higher. These include CFCs, halons, carbon
tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, and bromine
compounds.
122
5th Edition 2010
Glossary of Terms
Equilibrium - Liquid and Vapor phases of
refrigerant existing in contact with each other
at a saturated pressure/temperature condition.
For blends, the composition of the vapor will
contain more of the higher pressure
components.
Flooded Evaporator Systems - A system
design that allows the refrigerant to boil in a
pool in the evaporator, which cools the water,
glycol, or product that is circulating through
tubing or panels in the boiling pool, and only
the vapor that is boiled goes back to the
compressor.
Fractionation - Change in composition of a
blend by preferential evaporation of the more
volatile component(s) or condensation of the
less volatile component(s).
Global Warming or Greenhouse EffectOccurs when carbon dioxide and other gases,
including refrigerants, build up in the atmosphere. These gases allow sunlight to pass
through to the earth; however, the gases trap
heat energy from the earth and the planets
average temperature is raised.
Global Warming Potential or GWP A relative measure of how effective a chemical
is at retaining heat in the atmosphere. The
value shows the effect of an equivalent
number of kilograms of CO2 on global
warming.
HC - Hydrocarbon refrigerants, used primarily
as additives in blends. They will help promote
circulation of mineral oil when the blend
components will not accomplish this alone.
HCFC - Hydro-Chloro-Fluoro-Carbon; a
refrigerant comprised of carbon atoms
connected to chlorine, fluorine, and hydrogen
HCFC (continued)
atoms. The common HCFCs are R-22, R-123,
R-124, R-142b.
HFC - Hydro-Fluoro-Carbon; a refrigerant
comprised of carbon atoms connected to
fluorine and hydrogen only. The common
HFCs are R-134a, R-125, R-143a, R-152a, R-32
and R-23.
High Ambient Air Conditioning - An air
conditioning application where the surrounding air temperatures are higher than normal,
which requires a slightly lower refrigerant
pressure and very large condensing surface
in order to work correctly. (Example: crane
control room in a steel mill.)
High Pressure Appliance - An appliance
that uses a refrigerant with a boiling point
between -50C (-55F) and 10C (40F) at
atmospheric pressure. This definition includes,
but is not limited to, appliances that use R-12,
R-22, R-114, R-500 or R-502.
High Temperature Refrigeration Refrigeration applications where the evaporator temperature normally runs higher
than 30F.
Household Appliance - The standard
refrigerator/freezer found in most kitchens,
as well as small freezer appliances sold to
homeowners.
Hygroscopic- A tendency for refrigeration
oils to absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
Industrial Process Refrigeration - Complex,
customized appliances used in the chemical,
pharmaceutical, petrochemical and manufacturing industries. This sector also includes
industrial ice machines and ice rinks.
123

Glossary of Terms
Oil Flushing - The process of changing from
one type of lubricant (typically mineral oil or
alkylbenzene) to another type (typically POE),
which involves the removal of an oil charge and
replacement with the new oil type. Successive
oil changes will quickly lower the concentration
of the original oil type.
Low-Loss Fitting - Any device that is intended

to establish a connection between hoses,
appliances, or recovery or recycling machines,
which is designed to close automatically or
will be closed manually when disconnected,
thereby minimizing the release of refrigerant
from hoses, appliances, and recovery / recycling
machines.
Opening an Appliance - Any service,

maintenance, or repair on an appliance that
could be reasonably expected to release
refrigerant from the appliance to the atmosphere
unless the refrigerant was previously recovered
from the appliance.
Low-Pressure Appliance - An appliance that

uses a refrigerant with a boiling point above
10C (40F) at atmospheric pressure. This
definition includes, but is not limited to,
equipment utilizing R-11, R-113, and R-123.
Ozone Depletion - The interruption by free

chlorine radicals of the normal ozone creation/
breakdown process which occurs in the upper
atmosphere. The free chlorine causes ozone
molecules to come apart, then ties up the free
oxygen used to make for ozone. The result is a
net decrease in the ozone concentration.
Low Temperature Refrigeration - Refrigeration applications that normally run evaporator

temperatures between -40F and 0F.
Medium Temperature Refrigeration Refrigeration applications that normally run
evaporator temperatures between
0F and 40F.
Poly-Alkylene-Glycol (PAG) Oil - A general

term that applies to a family of synthetic oils
based on polyalkylene glycols chemistry. PAGs
are used primarily with HFC refrigerants in the
automotive air conditioning industry.
Mineral Oil - Traditional refrigeration oil,

refined from petroleum products. Generally
not compatible with new HFC refrigerants.
Miscibility - Ability of a gas or liquid to dissolve
uniformly (mix) in another gas or liquid.
Process Stub - A length of tubing that provides

access to the refrigerant inside an appliance and
that can be resealed at the conclusion of repair
or service.
Motor Vehicle Air Conditioner (MVAC) - Any

appliance that is contained in a motor vehicle
and is used to cool the driver's or passengers
compartment. MVAC is regulated under the
Clean Air Act Section 609.
Propylene Glycol - A type of heat transfer fluid

used in secondary loop chillers. Because of the
low toxicity of propylene glycol, this product is
often used when failure of the cooling piping
might allow contact of the glycol with food
products.
MVAC-Like Appliance - Air conditioning

equipment used to cool the drivers or
passengers compartment of a non-road
vehicle. The system is similar in construction to
MVAC equipment; however R-22 equipment is
excluded from this definition.
Pump-Down (Out) - The withdrawal of all

refrigerant from the low side of a system by
pumping it into either the condenser or the
liquid receiver.

Glossary of Terms
Reclaim - To reprocess refrigerant to at least
the purity specified in the AHRI Standard 700,
Specifications for Fluorocarbon Refrigerants,
and to verify this purity using the specified
analytical methods.
System-Dependent Recovery Equipment Recovery equipment that requires the

assistance of components contained in an
appliance to remove the refrigerant.
Temperature Glide - the change in temperature from when a blend first starts boiling
in an evaporator to when it reaches saturated
vapor at the end of the evaporator.
Recovery - To remove refrigerant from a

system, regardless of condition, and store it
in an external container without necessarily
testing or processing the refrigerant in any way.
TXV (or TEV) - Thermal Expansion Valve,

which is used to meter the flow of refrigerant
from the liquid line into the evaporator and
provide the correct pressure drop.
Recovery Efficiency -The percentage of

refrigerant recovered compared to the total
amount in the appliance.
Recycle - To extract refrigerant from an
appliance to attempt to clean water, oil,
acidity and particulates from it. These
procedures may not necessarily return
the refrigerant to AHRI 700 purity. The
refrigerant may be returned to the same
system after recycling.
Very Low Temperature or Ultra Low

Temperature Refrigeration - Refrigeration
applications that normally run evaporator
temperatures below -60F. These applications
will often use a cascade or 2 stage refrigeration
system.
Repair - Fix what is wrong with a broken system

without changing the type of refrigerant.
Replace - Install a new piece of equipment in
the same application instead of repair or retrofit.
Retrofit - The replacement of the original
refrigerant in a system with a different refrigerant, which may involve changing valves, oil,
other components, or adjusting controls in
some manner.
Weight Percent - The relative amount of each

component in a refrigerant blend on a mass
basis (the pounds of each component relative
to the total pounds in the blend).
Zeotrope - A blend that behaves normally as
a mixture of refrigerants. The properties are
a combination of the individual component
properties, and the vapor composition is
different from the liquid, which promotes
fractionation and temperature glide effects.
(see Section 2)
Self-Contained Recovery Equipment Recovery equipment that is capable of

removing refrigerant from an appliance
without the assistance of components within
the appliance.
Small Appliances - Any self-contained,
hermetic appliance that contains 5 pounds
or less of refrigerant.

MINERAL OIL
Naphthenic Mineral Oils (pale oils) are

the traditional choice for lubrication in air conditioning and refrigeration compressors. They are
used primarily in systems designed for CFCs (R-12,
R-502) and HCFCs (R-22, retrofit blends).
Mineral Oils are made from the highest quality
base stocks and provide outstanding performance
and protection in compressors. Available in
150 SUS, 300 SUS and 500 SUS viscosities, these
products can be used in most reciprocating, scroll,
screw and many centrifugal compressors on the
market today.
Mineral Oils perform well over a wide temperature range. They have very good chemical
stability and provide very good protection and
lubrication at higher compressor temperatures.
In addition, they have low wax content and have
chemical characteristics that promote a low pour
point and good oil return to the compressor at low
evaporator temperatures. Naphthenic Mineral Oils
do a very good job of preventing system deposits
compared to paraffinic (white) mineral oils.

ALKYLBENZENE
Alkylbenzene (AKB) synthetic refrigeration

lubricants provide outstanding performance for extended drain intervals and better thermal stability compared
to traditional mineral oil. They can be used in systems
designed for CFCs (R-12, R-502) and HCFCs (R-22,
retrofit blends).
Alkylbenzenes are made from the highest
quality synthetic base stocks and provide outstanding
performance and protection in compressors. These
synthetic lubricants do not contain wax and can survive
longer than mineral oils at high compressor discharge
temperatures. Alkylbenzenes typically run cleaner in
systems than mineral based oils. Available in 150 SUS,
200 SUS and 300 SUS viscosities, these products can be
used in most reciprocating, rotary vane, and scroll
compressors on the market today.
Alkylbenzenes are particularly well suited
for use in retrofit projects. In some cases, equipment
manufacturers suggest the replacement of some mineral
oil with alkylbenzene when using HCFC-based retrofit
blends. During HFC retrofit projects, using alkylbenzene
for initial oil flushing helps remove mineral oil and contaminants in preparation for a final POE flush, thus
saving money on POE.
Available Sizes & Part Numbers
AKB 200R meets the strict retrofit recommendations imposed by some equipment manufacturers,
such as Copeland.

WHY USE A COIL CLEANER?
HOW CAN YOU CALCULATE DILUTION LEVELS?
Dirty or blocked coils will result in reduced

air flow and poor heat transfer. Equipment
could run hotter, reducing its useful lifetime,
increasing operating costs and reducing
comfort or refrigeration capacity. Properly
cleaning the coils will keep equipment
running at peak performance.
Concentrated coil cleaners are meant to be diluted

with water. Using the concentrate straight from the
bottle or strong mixtures on lightly soiled coils can
result in damage to the surface being cleaned.
Extremely dirty coils require a higher content of
the coil cleaner versus water to get the desired
cleaning.
Moderately soiled coils can be cleaned with an
equal amount of coil cleaner and water content.
Slightly soiled coils can be cleaned with a higher
water content to coil cleaner content to get the
desired cleaning.
HOW DO COIL CLEANERS REALLY WORK?

The two active ingredients are soap and an acid or
alkaline based surface brightener.
The soaps job is obvious -- to break up and carry
away dirt and grease.
The surface brighteners job is also straightforward:
Air, moisture and other chemicals will react with
aluminum coil surfaces to form layers that can
collect dirt and reduce heat transfer. The strong
alkaline or acid compounds in the coil cleaner
will chemically clean the layers away until bright
metal is exposed, returning the coil surface to its
original design performance.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

TYPES OF COIL CLEANERS?
CAN COIL CLEANERS BE USED TO CLEAN

OTHER SURFACES?
Indoor coils, cabinets, air filters and fan blades can
be cleaned with a diluted concentrate. Each
coil cleaner has a dilution chart on the bottle
as a guideline.
133
They will all clean and treat the surface of the coil.
The major differences are:

treatment, alkaline for general brightening)

PROPYLENE GLYCOL
Inhibited Propylene Glycol heat transfer fluid contains DOWFROST *blended to different
concentrations. It contains a performance additive that prevents metal corrosion, lowers
maintenance cost, and improves heat transfer. It also provides freeze and burst protection based
on the type of application.
Inhibited Propylene Glycol has a low toxicity level, so it can be used in applications that have
contact with food or beverage products such as immersion freezing and packaging carbonated
beverages. It is also used for secondary cooling and heating applications, and for various defrosting
and dehumidifying applications.
Based on the desired application temperature, the amount of propylene glycol can be calculated
with the following formula:
Volume of PG required = (System Volume) * (percentage of PG based on Table 1 value)* (0.01)

Overview
Under Section 608 of the CAA, EPA has established regulations (40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F) that:
Require service practices that maximize recovery and recycling of ozone-depleting
substances (both chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)
and their blends) during the servicing and disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration
equipment.
Set certification requirements for refrigerant recycling and recovery equipment, technicians,
and refrigerant reclaimers.
Restrict the sale of refrigerant to certified technicians.
Require persons servicing or disposing of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment
to certify to EPA that they have acquired refrigerant recovery and/or recycling equipment
and are complying with the requirements of the rule.
Require the repair of substantial leaks in air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment with
a refrigerant charge greater than 50 pounds.
Establish safe disposal requirement to ensure removal of refrigerants from goods that
enter the waste stream with the charge intact (e.g., motor vehicle air conditioners, home
refrigerators, and room air conditioners.

Regulatory Update
The Prohibition on Venting
Effective July 1, 1992, Section 608 of the Act prohibits individuals from intentionally venting ozonedepleting substances used as refrigerants (generally CFCs and HCFCs) into the atmosphere while
maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of air-conditioning or refrigeration equipment
(appliances). Only four types of releases are permitted under the prohibition.
1. De minimis quantities of refrigerant released in the course of making good faith attempts
to recapture and recycle or safely dispose of refrigerant.
2. Refrigerants emitted in the course of normal operation of air-conditioning and refrigeration
equipment (as opposed to during the maintenance, servicing, repair or disposal of this
equipment) such as from mechanical purging and leaks. However, EPA requires the repair
of leaks above a certain size in large equipment. (see Refrigerant Leaks)
3. Releases of CFCs or HCFCs that are not used as refrigerants. For instance, mixtures of nitrogen
and R-22 that are used as holding charges or as leak test gases may be released.
4. Small releases of refrigerant that result from purging hoses or from connecting or disconnecting
hoses to charge or service appliances will not be considered violations of the prohibition on
venting. However, recovery and recycling equipment manufactured after November 15, 1993,
must be equipped with low-loss fittings.
Regulatory Requirements
Service Practice Requirements
1. Evacuation Requirements
Technicians are required to evacuate air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment to established vacuum
levels when opening the equipment for maintenance, service, repair, or disposal. If the technicians recovery
and/or recycling equipment was manufactured any time before November 15, 1993, the air-conditioning
and refrigeration equipment must be evacuated to the levels described in the first column of Table 1. If the
technicians recovery or recycling equipment was manufactured on or after November 15, 1993, the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment must be evacuated to the levels described in the second column of
Table 1, and the recovery or recycling equipment must have been certified by an EPA -approved equipment
testing organization.
Technicians repairing small appliances, such as household refrigerators, window air conditioners, and water
coolers, must recover:
80 percent of the refrigerant when
the technician uses recovery or recycling equipment manufactured before November 15, 1993, or
the compressor in the appliance is not operating; OR
90 percent of the refrigerant when
the technician uses recovery or recycling equipment manufactured after November 15, 1993, and
the compressor in the appliance is operating
In order to ensure that they are recovering the correct percentage of refrigerant, technicians must use the
recovery equipment according to the directions of its manufacturer. Technicians may also satisfy recovery
requirements by evacuating the small appliance to four inches of mercury vacuum.

2. Exceptions to Evacuation Requirements

EPA has established limited exceptions to its evacuation requirements for 1) repairs to refrigeration and airconditioning equipment and 2) repairs that are not major and that are not followed by an evacuation of the
equipment to the environment.
If, due to leaks, evacuation to the levels in Table 1 is not attainable, or would substantially contaminate the
refrigerant being recovered, the persons opening the appliance must:
isolate leaking from non-leaking components wherever possible;
evacuate non-leaking components to the levels in Table 1; and
evacuate leaking components to the lowest level that can be attained without
substantially contaminating the refrigerant. This level cannot exceed 0 psig.
If evacuation of the equipment to the environment is not to be performed when repairs are complete, and if
the repair is not major, then the appliance must:
be evacuated to at least 0 psig before it is opened if it is a high or very-high pressure
appliance, or
be pressurized to 0 psig before it is opened if it is a low-pressure appliance. Methods that
require subsequent purging (e.g., nitrogen) cannot be used except with appliances containing R-113.
140
5th Edition 2010
Regulatory Update
3. Reclamation Requirement
EPA has also established that refrigerant recovered and/or recycled can be returned to the same system or
other systems owned by the same person without restriction.
If refrigerant changes ownership, it must be reclaimed (i.e., cleaned to the AHRI 700-1193 Standard of purity)
by an EPA certified refrigerant reclaimer.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Equipment Certification

The Agency has established a certification program for refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment. EPA
required that manufacturers or importers of refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment manufactured on
or after November 15, 1993, have their equipment tested by an EPA-approved testing organization to ensure
that it meets EPA requirements. Equipment intended for use with air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment
must be tested under EPA requirements based upon the AHRI 740 test protocol (i.e., EPA Appendices B and B1
to 40 CFR 82 subpart F). Recycling and recovery equipment intended for use with small appliances must be
tested under EPA Appendix C or alternatively under requirements bases upon the AHRI 740 test protocol
(i.e., Appendices B and B1 to 40 CFR 82 subpart F).
The Agency requires recovery efficiency standards that vary depending on the size and type of air-conditioning
or refrigeration equipment being serviced. For recovery and recycling equipment intended for use with airconditioning and refrigeration equipment besides small appliances, these standards are the same as those in
the second column of Table 1. Recovery equipment intended for use with small appliances must be able to
recover 90 percent of the refrigerant in the small appliance when the compressor is not operating.
EPA has approved both the Air-conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) and Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) to certify recycling and recovery equipment. Certified equipment can be identified by a label
reading: This equipment has been certified by ARI/UL to meet EPAs minimum requirements for recycling and/
or recovery equipment intended for use with (appropriate category of appliance -- e.g., small appliances, HCFC
appliances containing less than 200 pounds of refrigerant, all high-pressure appliances, etc.). Lists of certified
equipment may be obtained by contacting AHRI at 703-5248800 and UL at 708-272-8800 ext. 42371.
Refrigerant Leaks
Owners or operators of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment with refrigerant charges greater than 50
pounds are required to repair leaks within 30 days when those leaks result in the loss of more than a certain
percentage of the equipments refrigerant charge over a year. For the commercial (e.g. grocery stores and
warehouses) and industrial process refrigeration sectors, leaks must be repaired within 30 days when the
equipment leaks at a rate that would release 35 percent or more of the charge over a year. For all other sectors,
including comfort cooling (such as building chillers), leaks must be repaired when the appliance leaks at a rate
that would release 15 percent or more of the charge over a year.
The trigger for repair requirements is the current leak rate projected over a consecutive 12-month period rather
than the total quantity of refrigerant lost. For instance, owners or operators of a commercial refrigeration system
containing 100 pounds of charge must repair leaks if they find that the system has lost 10 pounds of charge over
the past month; although 10 pounds represents only 10 percent of the system charge in this case, a leak rate of
10 pounds per month would result in the release of over 100 percent of the charge over the year. To track leak
rates, owners or operators of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment with more than 50 pounds of charge
must keep records of the quantity of refrigerant added to their equipment during servicing and maintenance
procedures. Owners or operators are required to repair leaks within 30 days of discovery. This requirement is
141
5th Edition 2010
Regulatory Update
Refrigerant Leaks (continued)
waived if, within 30 days of discovery, owners develop a one-year retrofit or retirement plan for the leaking
equipment. Owners of industrial process refrigeration equipment may qualify for additional time under certain
circumstances. For example, if an industrial process shutdown is required to repair a leak, owners have 120 days
to repair the leak. Owners of industrial process refrigeration equipment should reference the Compliance
Assistance Guidance Document for Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair for additional information
concerning time extensions and pertinent recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
The leak repair regulations do not apply to refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment with refrigerant
charge sizes less than 50 pounds (such as residential split air-conditioning systems). However, smaller
equipment is not exempt from the refrigerant venting prohibition. EPA regulations prohibit the intentional
release of all refrigerants during the maintenance, service, repair, or disposal of air-conditioning and
refrigeration equipment.
Technician Certification
EPA has established a technician certification program for persons (technicians) who perform maintenance,
service, repair, or disposal that could be reasonably expected to release refrigerants into the atmosphere. The
definition of technician specifically includes and excludes certain activities as follows:
Included:
attaching and detaching hoses and gauges to and from the appliance to measure pressure within
the appliance;
adding refrigerant to (for example topping off) or removing refrigerant from the appliance.
any other activity that violates the integrity of the MVAC-like appliances, and small appliances.
In addition, apprentices are exempt from certification requirements provided the apprentice is closely and
continually supervised by a certified technician.
The Agency has developed four types of certification:
1. For servicing small appliances (Type I)
2. For servicing or disposing of high or very high-pressure appliances, except small appliances and
MVACs (Type II)
3. For servicing or disposing of low-pressure appliances (Type III).
4. For servicing all types of equipment (Universal).
Technicians are required to pass an EPA-approved test given by an EPA-approved certifying organization to
become certified under the mandatory program. Section 608 Technician Certification credentials do not expire.

No. - Go to 4 below
Step 4. If you cannot answer yes to any of the steps above, EPA will not issue a replacement card. You will need
to retake the Section certification test. Please go to the Section 608 Technician Certification Programs page to
find testing organizations which meet your needs.
Refrigerant Sales Restrictions

The sale of ozone-depleting refrigerant (such as R-11, R-12, and R-22) in any size container has been restricted to
technicians certified either under the program described in Technician Certification above or under EPAs motor
vehicle air conditioning regulations. The sales restriction covers ozone-depleting refrigerant contained in bulk
containers, such as cans, cylinders, or drums.
The restriction excludes refrigerant contained in refrigerators or air conditioners with fully assembled refrigerant
circuits(such as household refrigerators, window air conditioners, and packaged air conditioners), and HFC
refrigerants (such as R-134a and R-410A).
Under Section 609 of the Clean Air Act, sales of CFC-12 in containers smaller than 20 pounds are restricted
solely to technicians certified under EPAs motor vehicle air-conditioning regulations (i.e., Section 609 certified
technicians). Technicians certified under EPAs stationary refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment
(i.e., Section 608 certified technicians) may buy containers of CFC-12 larger than 20 pounds.
Section 609 technicians are only allowed to purchase refrigerants that are suitable for use in motor vehicle airconditioners. Effective September 22, 2003, EPA has restricted the sale of ozone-depleting refrigerants, approved
for use in stationary refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, to Section 608 certified technicians. Therefore,
the sale of ozone-depleting refrigerants (such as HCFC-22) that are approved for use in stationary equipment but
not for use in motor vehicle air-conditioners is restricted to Section 608 certified technicians.
143
5th Edition 2010
Regulatory Update
Certification by Owners of Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Equipment
EPA requires that persons servicing, disposing, or recycling air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment
certify to the appropriate EPA Regional Office that they have acquired (built, bought, or leased) refrigerant
recovery or recycling equipment and that they are complying with the applicable requirements of this rule.
This certification must be signed by the owner of the owner of the equipment or another responsible officer
and sent to the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Although owners of recycling and recovery equipment are
required to list the number of trucks based at their shops, they do not need to have a piece of recycling or
recovery equipment for every truck. Owners do have to send in a new form each time they add recycling or
recovery equipment to their inventory.
Refrigerant Reclaimer Certification

Refrigerant reclaimers are companies that reprocess used refrigerant back to virgin specifications. EPA restricts
the resale of used refrigerant to a new owner, unless it has been reclaimed by an EPA certified refrigerant
reclaimer. Reclaimers are required to return refrigerant to the purity level specified in AHRI Standard 700 (an
industry-set purity standard) and to verify this purity using the laboratory protocol set forth in the same standard.
In order to be recognized by EPA, refrigerant reclaimers must certify to the Section 608 Recycling Program Manager
at EPA headquarters that they are complying with these requirements and that the information given is true and
correct. Certification must also include the name and address of the reclaimer and a list of equipment used to
process and to analyze the refrigerant.
Safe Disposal Requirements

Refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment that is typically dismantled on-site before disposal (e.g., retail
food refrigeration, central residential air conditioning, chillers, and industrial process refrigeration) has to have
the refrigerant recovered in accordance with EPA s requirements for servicing prior to their disposal. However,
equipment that typically enters the waste stream with the charge intact, (e.g. motor vehicle air conditioners,
household refrigerators and freezers, and room air conditioners) are subject to special safe disposal requirements.
Under these requirements, the final person in the disposal chain (e.g., a scrap metal recycler or landfill owner) is
responsible for ensuring that refrigerant is recovered from equipment before the final disposal of the equipment.
If the final person in the disposal chain accepts appliances that no longer hold a refrigerant charge, that person is
responsible for maintaining a signed statement from whom the appliance/s is being accepted. The signed statement must include the name and address of the person who recovered the refrigerant, and the date that the
refrigerant was recovered, or a copy of a contract stating that the refrigerant will be removed prior to delivery.
EPA does not mandate a sticker as a form of verification that the refrigerant has been removed prior to disposal
of the appliance. Such stickers do not relieve the final disposer of their responsibility to recover any remaining
refrigerant in the appliance, unless the sticker consists of a signed statement that includes the name and address
of the person who recovered the refrigerant, and the date that the refrigerant was recovered.
Technician certification is not required for individuals removing refrigerant from small appliances, motor vehicle
air conditioners, and motor vehicle-like air conditioners, when preparing them for disposal. However, the
equipment used to recover refrigerant from appliances prior to their final disposal must meet the same performance standards as refrigerant recovery equipment used prior to servicing. Persons involved in the final disposal
of appliances must certify to their EPA Regional Office that they have obtained and are properly using EPA
certified refrigerant recovery equipment.
144
5th Edition 2010
Regulatory Updates
Major Recordkeeping Requirements
Technicians
servicing appliances that contain 50 or more pounds of refrigerant must provide the
owner with an invoice that indicates the amount of refrigerant added to the appliance.
Technicians must also keep a copy of their proof of certification at their place of business.
Owners or Operators of appliances that contain 50 or more pounds of refrigerant must keep servicing records
documenting the date and type of service, as well as the quantity of refrigerant added.
Wholesalers
who sell CFC and HCFC refrigerants must retain invoices that indicate the name of
the purchases, the date of sale, and the quantity of refrigerant purchased.
Reclaimers
must maintain records of the names and addresses of persons sending them material
for reclamation and the quantity of material send to them for reclamation. This information must be maintained on a transactional basis. Within 30 days of the end of the
calendar year, reclaimers must report to EPA the total quantity of material sent to them
that year for reclamation, the mass of refrigerant reclaimed that year, and the mass of
waste products generated that year.
