Can You Vent R410A Refrigerant? - Ask the Expert Episode 265

Today’s question comes from Jim. “Hey Dan, can you vent R410A?”

You cannot legally vent R410A refrigerant into the atmosphere. Though it does not have high ozone depletion potential, it is a greenhouse gas so it is regulated by the EPA and they say don’t vent it into the atmosphere. If you do, then you have violated the Clean Air Act.

By that logic you can't legally pass gas either.

With eliminating a perfect cooling gas R-12 and replacing it with a still harmful pollution agent what was the purpose ? Now it consumes twice the energy to get the same results in twice the time. If people would look at the whole situation pros and cons prior to stampeding there outcome would be useful. With all the environmental changes we have imposed on Americans and it only increased the OZONE because changing one thing is not a fix.
