Refrigerant property relationships

Latent heat

hfg = hg - hf

Cooling effect uses enthalpy difference

Saturation state

Tsat corresponds to Psat

At saturation, liquid and vapor can coexist

R22 saturation properties are used for legacy HVAC service checks, refrigeration cycle estimates, pressure-temperature comparisons, and troubleshooting. Always verify final service decisions against system labels, manufacturer data, regulations, and calibrated instruments.

Reference

What the R22 values mean

Saturation pressure

The pressure at which R22 boils or condenses at the selected saturation temperature.

Liquid enthalpy

hf is the energy content of saturated liquid refrigerant at the saturation point.

Vapor enthalpy

hg is the energy content of saturated vapor refrigerant at the saturation point.

Specific volume

vg helps estimate vapor volume flow and compressor displacement requirements.

FAQ

R22 refrigerant questions

What is R22 refrigerant?

R22, also known as chlorodifluoromethane, is an HCFC refrigerant historically used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

Why is R22 mostly used for legacy systems?

R22 has been phased out or restricted in many markets because of ozone depletion potential, so it is mainly encountered in existing equipment and service contexts.

Can this table replace manufacturer refrigerant data?

No. Use this page for quick reference and early calculations. Final HVAC work should use manufacturer data, standards, regulations, and calibrated gauges.
