R-410A
Refrigerant 410A is a non-ozone depleting blend of two
refrigerants HFC-125 and HFC-32 in a fifty percent mix-
ture. Refrigerant 410A exhibits higher operating pressure
and refrigeration capacity than R-22. R-410A refrigerant
is intended for use in new air conditioning application that
has traditionally been serviced by HCFC-22 or R-22. Due
to higher capacity and pressure of R-410A, it is not recom-
mended as a retrofit to existing R-22 systems.
Although R-410A is non-flammable at ambient tem-
perature and atmosphere pressure, it can become com-
bustible under pressure when mixed with air. (NOTE:
R-410A should not be mixed with air under pressure for
leak testing. Pressure mixtures of dry nitrogen and R-410A
can be used for leak testing.)
Lubrication
R410A should be used only with polyolester (POE) oil. The
HFC refrigerant components in R-410A will not be compat-
ible with mineral oil or alkylbenzene lubricants. R-410A sys-
tems will be charged with the OEM recommended lubricant,
ready for use with R-410A.
Charging
Due to the zeotropic nature of R-410A, it should be charged
as a liquid. In situations where vapor is normally charged
into a system, a valve should be installed in the charging
line to flash the liquid to vapor while charging.
Warning
It is very important to make certain that the recycle or recov-
ery equipment used is designed for R-410A. The pressure
of R-410A refrigerant is approximately 60 percent greater
than that of R-22. Pressure gauges require a range up to
800 PSIG high side and 250 PSIG low side. Recovery cyl
-
inders require a 400 PSIG rating – do not put R-410A in a
300 PSIG rated cylinder.
(NOTE: because a water source heat pump operates under
a wide range of water and air temperatures, the values
printed below are to be taken as suggested pressure and
temperatures.) All McQuay water source heat pumps are
designed for commercial use. The units are designed for
the cooling mode of operation and fail safe to cooling.
The revising valve is energized for the heating mode of
operation.
