Monochlorodifluoromethane

Monochlorodifluoromethane, also known as R-22 or HCFC-22, is a colorless gas that belongs to the supply class Gases: Compressed And Liquefied in the supply group Chemicals And Chemical Products. It is commonly used as a refrigerant in air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and refrigeration equipment.

R-22 has been widely used in the past due to its excellent thermodynamic properties, such as its low boiling point and high heat transfer coefficient. However, it has been phased out in many countries due to its ozone-depleting potential. The production and import of R-22 have been gradually reduced as part of international agreements to protect the ozone layer.

It is important to note that the use of R-22 is being phased out, and alternative refrigerants with lower environmental impact, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), are being used instead. If you are working with R-22 or considering its use, it is essential to comply with local regulations and guidelines regarding its handling, storage, and disposal.
