Brief Analysis of Different Uses of R22 and R123 Refrigerant

At present, R22 refrigerant is the most widely used and the largest refrigerant variety, mainly used in some refrigeration equipment such as air-conditioning cold storage. R123 refrigerant is currently mainly used in production and initial installation in China. What is the difference between refrigerant R22 and R123 refrigerant?

R22 refrigerant is a colorless and odorless gas at room temperature, non-flammable, non-explosive, non-corrosive, slightly more toxic than R12 refrigerant, but still a safe refrigerant, it is pressurized and liquefied into colorless and transparent refrigerant of liquid. Mainly used for reciprocating compressors, used in household air conditioners, central air conditioners, mobile air conditioners, heat pump water heaters, dehumidifiers, refrigerated dryers, cold storage, food refrigeration equipment, marine refrigeration equipment, industrial refrigeration, commercial refrigeration, refrigerated condensation Units, supermarket display cabinets, and other refrigeration equipment. It is currently the most widely used refrigerant variety.

And R123 refrigerant is the most effective and safe alternative refrigerant for large central air-conditioning (centrifugal chiller) refrigerant for foaming, cleaning agent, chemical solvent, and so on. And there is damage to the ozone layer, and there is a greenhouse effect. Although R22 refrigerant and R123 refrigerant belong to HCFCs, they are often used in different industries because of their different properties.
