Starke R22 Refrigerant Gas
Chlorodifluoromethane is a colorless gas with an ethereal odor, better known as HCFC-22, or R-22, or CHClF ₂. It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. It is noncombustible. It can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Toxic gases can be produced in fires involving this material. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause it to rupture violently and rocket APPLICATIONS: R22 is used for common refrigeration applications that include commercial, industrial and transport refrigeration as well as commercial, residential, and light air-conditioning, and commercial centrifugal compressors. FEATURES & BENEFITS: Starkes refrigeration gases feature a high density and low boiling point as well as low viscosity and surface tension. They have excellent chemical and thermal stability with the capacity to be supplied in liquefied gas form, using low pressure cylinders. Many of the current refrigeration and HVAC applications would not be possible without the use of fluorocarbon refrigerants. HAZARDS: Dangerous to the ozone layer – part of the phase-out schedule Asphyxiant at high concentrations Sudden expansion will produce low temperatures Wear safety goggles, protective gloves and overall and safety shoes when handling cylinders
