What refrigerant does MO99 replace?

R-22
Freon™ MO99 is a non-ozone depleting HFC refrigerant designed to replace R-22 in existing DX residential and commercial AC and medium- and low-temperature refrigeration systems. Freon™ MO99 is compatible with traditional and new lubricants; in most cases, no change of lubricant type during retrofit is required.

Is MO99 a direct replacement for R22?

DuPont™ ISCEON® MO99 is a non-ozone-depleting HFC Refrigerant designed to replace R22 in existing direct expansion (DX) systems where the expansion device capacity is very closely matched to the system capacity (>80%).

How much does MO 99 cost?

In other words, the cost for producing Mo-99 probably range from about $125 to $325 per 6-day curie. The overall cost of producing 12,000 6-day curies of Mo-99 per week to meet 2006 demand at $225 per 6-day curies is about $140 million.

What is the best drop in replacement for R-22?

The best replacement for R-22 Freon is usually R-407c. It has a very low loss in capacity (0 – 5%) relative to R-22 and is less expensive than many other R-22 replacement refrigerants.

How do I retrofit R-22 to MO99?

How to Convert R22 to MO99 Refrigerant Retrofit Guide

  1. Establish baseline performance with existing refrigerant. (
  2. Remove all the old (R22 or other) refrigerant from the system into a recovery cylinder.
  3. Replace the filter drier and critical elastomeric seals/gaskets.
  4. Evacuate system and check for leaks.

What oil does Mo-99 use?

Freon™ MO99™ has compatibility with all traditional and new lubricants, including mineral oil (MO), polyolester (POE) oil, and alkylbenzene (AB) oil. Freon™ MO99™ significantly lowers discharge temperatures, which may extend compressor life.

Is Mo-99 same as R438A?

R438A (MO99) R438A (Freon™/Isceon MO99) is a HFC blend, used as a replacement for R22 in domestic, industrial and commercial air conditioning systems.

How do I switch to MO99?

Is MO99 a blend?

Because Freon™ MO99 is an HFC blend, and therefore not subject to phaseout like R-22, it is reasonable to expect Freon™ MO99 to be priced lower than R-22 and comparable to other R-22 replacement refrigerants.
