Is R-410A a Cfc or Hcfc

R-410A is an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon), but has been shown to have a much less harmful effect on the ozone and, since 2015, has become the standard for residential air conditioning. It’s known by trade names such as GENETRON AZ-20®, SUVA 410A®, Forane® 410A, and Puron®.

Is R-410A a high pressure refrigerant?

R410a operates at an average of 480psi – 500psi (with newer models of our valves operating at a tolerance of 650 psi) making it a high-pressure refrigerant.

What kind of refrigerant is 410A?

R-410A is one of the most popular refrigerants on the market. This type of refrigerant is a hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC), which does not deplete or damage the ozone layer. Therefore, R-410A is used for the vast majority of residential air conditioners.
