Can Car Refrigerant Be Used in Home Air Conditioners?
1 Answers
Car refrigerant cannot be mixed with home air conditioner refrigerant. Below are relevant introductions about refrigerants: Meaning of Refrigerant: In some southern regions, refrigerant is commonly known as "snow seed." 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) in the evaporator and vaporizes, then transfers heat to the surrounding air or water in the condenser and condenses. Categories of Refrigerant: Home air conditioners generally use R22 refrigerant, inverter air conditioners use R410 refrigerant, and cars use R12 refrigerant.
