I'm in the market to replace my split-system heat pump A/C. An installer came by today and said that there is a "new r22" that eliminates the need for the expensive puron (r410). I googled and couldn't find anything about this "new r22". Has anyone read anything about it?

Look for R417a a direct drop in replacement for R22.
There is also R407C, R421a, HC-a22 and a few more.
I haven't used any alternative to R22 yet so I can't
comment on it but I have used R416a in place of R12
and it's doing a good job. I haven't had to install
or service any Puron systems yet but may have to soon.

Maybe this is what you are looking for.

Suspose to replace the r22,407 and 417.

I don't know anything about it, but some bulliten boads do not seem to
recommend it.

.

I have not priced it lately, but just how much could the more expensive r401
be ? There are only several pounds in a system.

I did replace my system about 3 years ago and went with the r-22. My
thinking is that it operates at lower pressure and has been around long
enough to have the bugs worked out of the system. I also had most of a
bottle of that gas left from years ago.
If I need to add some, I can do that .

Hi,

Hi,
If you don't care about environment.

Freon was banned so that penguins wouldn't get sunburned. Then the planet
started heating up.

How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's
incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our
precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly
without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Hi,

The environment cares not whether the R-22 is sealed in a container or
inside an A/C system. The only time it becomes an environmental issue
is when you release it into the atmosphere.

(oh noes! my car has R-12 in it!)

Supposedly they are phasing out R-22. I'm going to be sad to
see it go. Good stuff, does a nice job. As to the other
blends and such. Time will tell, if any of them work, and if
they will be on the market for a while.

Puron is a brand name for 410a, but you likely knew that
already.

One company I work for, they used 416a. It's a bit cheaper
than 409a. I may try it for my next jug o juice. 409a works
nicely.

I have used 409a in the past but found 416a to
work better for me. I can use it in an old car
or old hermetic because there is no need to
change the oil and it runs a lower head pressure
which is less of a strain on an old system. I
have it running a walk in cooler at a pizza place
and the system runs in the hottest weather without
straining or overheating.
