Misidentifying refrigerants can have severe consequences, including safety risks, system inefficiencies, and environmental harm. Incorrect refrigerant identification can lead to improper handling, charging, or disposal, resulting in accidents, injuries, or fatalities. Moreover, using the wrong refrigerant can compromise system performance, reduce efficiency, and increase energy consumption, ultimately affecting the environment and the bottom line. In extreme cases, misidentification can also lead to equipment damage, costly repairs, or even system failure. Therefore, it is essential to follow refrigerant color coding standards and labeling requirements to ensure accurate identification and handling.
