Alternative Refrigerants :

For more than four decades, R-22 has been the refrigerant of choice for manufacturers of residential heat pumps and air conditioners. Recent studies, however, have shown that hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) such as R-22 contribute to the depletion of our planet’s ozone. Consequently the EPA has issued an aggressive “phase out schedule” for HCFCs, leading manufacturers to investigate efficient ways to transition to ozone friendly, EPA approved, new alternative refrigerants like R-410A.
