Understanding Refrigerants

Below are some descriptions of the types of refrigerants that we handle

The most widely used refrigerants were the halomethanes R-12 and R-22, with R-12 being more common in automotive air conditioning and small refrigerators, and R-22 being used for residential and light commercial air conditioning, refrigerators, and freezers. When CFCs are removed they should be recycled to clean out any contaminants and return it to a usable condition. New production of R-12 ceased in the United States in 1995, and R-22 is to be phased out by 2020. RemTec has the knowledge and capability to recover R-22 and recycle it.

R-22 -

Chlorodifluoromethane or difluoromonochloromethane is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC). This colorless gas is better known as HCFC-22, R-22. It was once commonly used as a propellant and in air conditioning applications. These applications are being phased out due to ozone depletion potential and status as a potent greenhouse gas. R22 is a versatile intermediate in industrial organofluorine chemistry, e.g. as a precursor to tetrafluoroethylene. When CFCs are removed they should be recycled to clean out any contaminants and return it to a usable condition. Re-use of recovered HCFC-22 will be permitted until 2030. RemTec has recovered HCFC-22 available for sale.

R-11 -

R-11 Trichlorofluoromethane has other names and brand names: CFC-11, Freon 11, Genetron 11, Forane 11.  A refrigerant is a compound used in a heat cycle that undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid and back. The two main uses of refrigerants are refrigerators/freezers and air conditioners. Some very early systems used R-11 because its relatively high boiling point allows low-pressure systems to be constructed, reducing the mechanical strength required for components. R-11 has the highest ozone depletion potential of any refrigerant. Whichever refrigerant you use, RemTec is capable of recovering it for recycling or destruction. Trichlorofluoromethane, also called freon-11, CFC-11, or R-11, is a chlorofluorocarbon. It is a colorless, nearly odorless liquid that boils at about room temperature. CFC-11 was a refrigerant used in operating systems before its ban in 1995. CFC-11 was banned due to its high ozone depleting potential. When CFCs are removed they should be recycled to clean out any contaminants and return it to a usable condition. Whichever refrigerant you use, RemTec is capable of recovering it for recycling or destruction.

R-12 -

Dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12), usually sold under the brand name Freon-12, is a chlorofluorocarbon halomethane (CFC), used as a refrigerant and aerosol spray propellant. CFC-12 was primarily used in automobiles produced prior to 1994. When CFCs are removed they should be recycled to clean out any contaminants and return it to a usable condition.
