I should know this number, but can't think of it off hand. The boiling
temperature of R-22 is about 44 degrees below zero. Somewhat similar
to propane. The refrigerant in a home AC system is a gas, when
released. Same deal with R410a "Puron", but Puron operates at much
higher pressures.

As others have written, water is available in the system as condensate
from the evaporator.

Is home air conditioning refrigerant a liquid or a gas at normal air
pressure? I'm sure it's a gas, yet someone online claims,
"Furthermore, because the unit was installed incorrectly, refridgerant
leaked all over our basement floor, causing water damage."
