NATE: Refrigerant Types and Properties - R-22, R-410A and Beyond — Flashcards

Fast review mode: answers are shown by default so you can skim quickly. Hide them if you want to self-test.

Refrigerants are classified by chemical family, pressure characteristics, ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential), and GWP (Global Warming Potential). Modern EPA focus emphasizes low-ODP and lower-GWP alternatives.
 

Key comparisons:
• R-22: HCFC, phased out (high ODP)
• R-410A: HFC blend, higher pressure than R-22, zero ODP but higher GWP
• A2L refrigerants: mildly flammable, lower GWP replacements emerging
