How It Works
Hydrocarbon is NOT a Magic Refrigerant
| Refrigerant Type | R22 | R410a | Nat Energy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class Classication | HCFC | HFC | HC |
| Molecular Size | 86.5 | 72.6 | 41.1 |
| Refrigerant Efficiency (J/g) | 163 | 168 | 367 |
| Lubricant Miscibility | Mineral | Synthetic | Both |
Molecular Size
The smaller the size of refrigerant molecules in a confined space, the larger is the surface area of the combined molecules.
The size of Nat Energy Resources hydrocarbon refrigerant molecules is less than half that of R22 and is thus twice the surface area in a confined space relative to R22 refrigerant.
The larger the surface area, the more heat will be dissipated. Hydrocarbon refrigerant is therefore able to reject heat much faster at any point in time from the air-conditioning systems relative to R22 and R410a refrigerants.
Refrigerant Efficiency
How fast a refrigerant is able to transfer heat at any point in time is measured in joules per gram.
Nat Energy Resources hydrocarbon refrigerant is able to transfer heat at the rate of 367 joules per gram and is regarded as the most efficient natural refrigerant in the market today.
In comparison, R22 refrigerant is only able transfer heat at the rate of 163 joules per gram.
Hydrocarbon is therefore 125% more efficient as a refrigerant relative to R22 and R410a.
Lubricant Miscibility
The lubricant is an integral ingredient in the optimal functioning on any compressor in the air-conditioning unit.
For R22 refrigerant, it is only able to work with mineral oil. Any other oil used in conjunction with R22 refrigerant will lead to compressor failure.
For R410a refrigerant, it can only work with synthetic oil.
Nat Energy Resources hydrocarbon refrigerant is miscible with both mineral and synthetic lubricants and is therefore a "drop-in" replacement for R22 and R410a refrigerants. In addition, with Nat Energy Resources Oil Analyzer, we can determine the condition of the lubricant in your existing system.
