It is possible to use the 1 pound cans of r12 freon to top of an old

don't go into the legality purchasing of freon...... just assume there
is plenty of 1 pound cans available and a 4 ton ac unit needs a few
pounds to top it off......

Propane is a direct replacement for R-22, sometimes packaged as R-22a.

Most refrigeration units coming from other parts of the world have been using hydrocarbon gasses for years.

In the time period since Dec 28, 2000, the
original poster moved to Alaska, and has
been asking about field dressing caribou
after a successful hunt.

He had to move to Alaska. His refrigerator was not working and he had to
keep the meat cold somehow. He can just keep it in the shed there.

It is illegal to mix different types of refrigerant, and home AC
units do not use R12.. DO NOT top up with R12 - and don't add propane
to the current refrigerant either. It makes it impossible to legally
recycle the refrigerant when an AC tech has to service or remove your
system. (either way).

If you are going to use an alternative refrigerant i the system usre
R407C - but it should NOT be used as a top-up. Have the R22 in your
system reclamed then fill with R407C.
