Is the refrigerant Freon?

Original air conditioners used Freon, but now air conditioners use a new refrigerant called R410a, which is actually an environmentally friendly Freon. This material does not destroy the atmospheric ozone layer. Let’s first talk about the differences between new refrigerants and Freon: 1. Both new refrigerants and Freon are widely used. With the progress and development of society, new refrigerants will replace Freon as refrigerants for long-term use; 2. New refrigerants are more environmentally friendly, generally do not contain harmful substances, and will not damage the earth's ozone layer. They protect the atmospheric environment better, but are slightly more expensive. Freon is relatively cheap and currently widely used. 3. The refrigeration effect of the new refrigerant is better than Freon; 4. This new refrigerant is less toxic and has no combustion propagation characteristics. The above is the difference between Freon and new refrigerants in air conditioners. Most of the refrigerants added to household air conditioners are Freon. Without refrigerant, the air conditioner cannot operate. Generally speaking, when the air conditioner is operating normally, refrigerant should be added every 2-3 years. Never think that adding more refrigerant is better. Do not add refrigerant when the air conditioner is not short of refrigerant, otherwise frequent addition of refrigerant will affect the use effect and service life of the air conditioner.
