Anyone know what serves as a replacement fluid for recharging a
dehumidifier using Freon 22? Google shows some replacement fluids
for others but not for freon 22, unfortunantly.

You can still get R22. Not cheap but it's still out there.

Yeah , but didn't they make it "illegal" to use it ?


Nope, you just have to be EPA section 608 certified to use it in a
stationary unit. Free study guide, free test software.
Take a $25.00 online test and you're good to go.

I did full 608 and 609 way back when they first came out. If you do A/C
work it's best to have both because the rules are rather convoluted.

For instance if you need to work on bus A/C units, 609 covers R-12 and
R-134a systems, BUT if it's using R-22 you need 608 because it's
considered a high pressure unit and NOT a Motor Vehicle A/C unit, Even
though it's in a bus!

If interested here is a company that does the testing
