Genetron® 22 for Commercial Air Conditioning

Genetron 22 is a single-component HCFC refrigerant manufactured to meet the tightest of manufacturer's specification, and can be used to service any equipment designed to use R-22. R-22 is popular in residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Genetron 22 is available in a variety of package sizes, including 30# refillable cylinders in Canada, and 30# and 50# DOT-39 recyclable cylinders in the U.S., South and Latin America, and Asia. Larger sizes include 125, 1000 and 1750 pound cylinders and tanks, and bulk deliveries can be obtained for larger projects.

Refrigerant HCFC-22 or R-22 is being phased out globally by countries as part of an international agreement on ozone-depleting chemicals. By 2010 most countries will no longer allow R-22 to be used in new air-conditioners, and R-22 refrigerant for servicing existing air conditioners will become less and less available. The refrigerant R-410A will take the place of R-22 in most new light commercial air conditioners, though R-407C will also be used in some packaged systems such as rooftop chillers.
