Is 410A compatible with R22?
R410A runs at a higher pressure than R22 does, so a system designed for R22 cannot use R410A. If you put R410A into an R22 system, then the compressor and other components could rupture – completely ruining the system. Another difference between the two refrigerants is that R410A is able to absorb more heat than R22 refrigerant.
