Can Car Refrigerant Be Used for Home Air Conditioners?
1 Answers
Car refrigerant cannot be mixed with home air conditioners. Here is some relevant information about refrigerants: 1. Meaning of Refrigerant: Refrigerant is commonly known as "snow seed" in some southern regions. It is a working substance that continuously circulates in the refrigeration system and achieves cooling through changes in its own state. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the cooled medium (such as water or air) and vaporizes in the evaporator, then transfers heat to the surrounding air or water and condenses in the condenser. 2. Types of Refrigerants: Home air conditioners generally use R22 refrigerant, inverter air conditioners use R410 refrigerant, and cars use R12 refrigerant.
