Replacing R-22 Refrigerant and/or Air Conditioning Units
As indicated in the analysis conducted for the relocation of air conditioning units, research to find a new refrigerant that could use existing R-22 piping and equipment is ongoing. In fact, thanks to François Gagnon and his outstanding internet research capabilities, it appears that such a refrigerant from Dupont already exist... it is the ISCEON M099. The M099 can replace the R-22 refrigerant in the same AC equipment (evaporator, condenser and pipes).Until recently, MO99 was more expensive than R22. However, today the trade price of MO99 is lower than R22 and DuPont indicated that availability should not be an issue.
