R-410A Refrigerant (HFC, R-22 Replacement)

R-410A Refrigerant – Industry Standard HFC

R-410A refrigerant has become the most widely used HFC refrigerant for residential and commercial air conditioning systems. Originally introduced as the primary replacement for R-22, R-410A delivers higher energy efficiency, zero ozone depletion potential, and reliable cooling performance. It is the dominant refrigerant in systems manufactured after 2010.

Common Applications

  • Residential split-system air conditioners
  • Commercial rooftop and packaged A/C systems
  • Heat pumps and ductless mini-split systems

Cylinder Sizes & Packaging

  • 25 lb cylinder (standard service size)
  • 100 lb cylinder (bulk applications)
  • ISO tanks (industrial use)

Key Advantages

  • Proven reliability in millions of systems worldwide
  • High efficiency for air conditioning and heat pump applications
  • Zero ozone depletion potential (compared to HCFC R-22)

Important Notes

  • Not compatible with R-22 equipment. R-410A operates at higher pressures and requires systems specifically engineered for it.
  • Certification: Purchases may require EPA Section 608 certification. Verify all local and federal regulations before ordering.
