How do I determine if my HVAC system is compatible with a new refrigerant?

To determine system compatibility, review the system’s design specifications and consult with the manufacturer’s documentation. Consider factors such as the compressor’s displacement, evaporator and condenser coil designs, and valve and fitting materials. It may also be necessary to perform laboratory tests or field trials to ensure compatibility. A thorough compatibility assessment will help prevent system malfunctions, reduce the risk of refrigerant leaks, and ensure optimal performance.
