What is an air conditioner refrigerant?
An air conditioner refrigerant is a substance used in AC units to help cool the air. The refrigerant evaporates at a low temperature and condenses at a high temperature, drawing heat out of the air as it does so. This process helps to keep your home or office cool and comfortable.
There are a few different types of refrigerants that can be used in air conditioners, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Some common refrigerants include R-22 (also known as Freon), R-410A, and R-290. Choosing the correct refrigerant for your AC unit is important, as using the wrong type can lead to decreased efficiency and even damage to the unit.
