When I started in this industry, there were three common refrigerants: R-12 for medium temperature applications, R-22 for air conditioning and R-502 for low temperature systems. I have not seen a white or purple cylinder of refrigerant for quite a while. These refrigerants were based on three elements - chlorine, fluorine, and carbon for CFCs like R-12 and R-502; and hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, and carbon for HCFCs like R-22.
This troubleshooting problem involves a 5-ton, R-22 rooftop air conditioning unit, and the customer’s complaint is that on days when the ambient temperature exceeds 90°F, the system doesn’t keep the store, which was recently remodeled, comfortable even though it seems to be running continuously.
