407c Refrigerant Oil

This is due to the r 22 systems using mineral oil and this hfc blend using poe oil.
407c refrigerant oil. R 407c is a mixture of hydrofluorocarbons used as a refrigerant. Difluoromethane serves to provide the heat capacity pentafluoroethane decreases flammability tetrafluoroethane reduces pressure. After retrofitting the system with genetron 407c or 422d label the system components to identify the specific refrigerant and specify the type of lubricant by brand name in the system. This will help ensure that the proper refrigerant and lubricant will be used to service the equipment in the future.

It is a zeotropic blend of difluoromethane r 32 pentafluoroethane r 125 and 1 1 1 2 tetrafluoroethane r 134a. Other refrigerants may not be compatible with the materials used in our compressors or the lubricants recommended in this bulletin resulting in unacceptable reliability and durability of the compressor. Below you can find different r22 replacement refrigerants and the of each.

It is not a drop in replacement on r 22 machines. R407c refrigerant 25 pound 407c factory sealed with oil r22 replacement r 22. If your system is running on r22 most likely is using mineral oil to lubricate the compressor. Legacy air currently only offers r407c as our choice for an r 22 replacement refrigerant and we do carry it on our trucks.
R 407c cylinders are colored burnt orange. R407c use poe oil units. For a no oil change r 22 replacement see freon mo99. If you mix r407c with r22 inside your system the molecule of the hfc r407c gas will not link with the oil and in just few months of operation you will have a sludge like lubricant formation inside the circuit.
All new compressors use poe oil and are compatible with r407c and most other r22 replacement refrigerants. R 407c only not for refrigerants which are similar to r 407c. R 407c is a zeotropic blend of r 32 difluromethane r 125 and r 134a tetrafluoroethane.
