Safety Tips
1. Never mix refrigerants in a refrigeration system or recovery cylinder. Any
refrigerant mixing creates a non-reclaimable mixture that will cost you or
your customer more money to dispose of.
2. Never leak test a system using air, oxygen or other oxidizing materials. When
combined with HFCs and HCFCs under pressure, these mixtures can become
combustible.
3. Always read the label and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before working
with the refrigerant(s).
4. Never “top-off” a system with a refrigerant other than what is already in that
system. If you aren’t sure what’s in a system, either recover the full charge
or have the refrigerant tested.
5. Always make sure systems you work on are properly labeled with the
refrigerant and oil when you leave.
6. Do not store refrigerant cylinders in direct sunlight or in areas where

temperatures could exceed 125° F or 51.7° C.
7. Keep smaller cylinders from becoming a rolling hazard by keeping them in

their cartons while storing or transporting them.
8. Always recover the contents of non-refillable refrigerant cylinders to 0 psig or

less before disposing of them. Whenever possible, recycle non-refillable
cylinders at a local metal recycling center or scrapyard.

How to Use These Guidelines

This booklet is broken into three sections: HFC Guidelines, HCFC
Guidelines and Pressure-Temperature Tables
The HFC and HCFC guidelines begin with a General Procedures
section that provides general guidelines for working with any
Genetron HFC or HCFC refrigerant. The table below indicates the
categories for each retrofit fluid. In the pages following each
General Procedures section, you will find guidelines specific to the
refrigerant you intend to retrofit into the system. In the back pages
of the booklet are tables of Pressure and Temperature data for
R-12 replacements and R-502 replacements. Both Pressure-
Temperature and Temperature-Pressure tables are provided to
help you to work faster.

HFC Retrofit Guidelines
With the phaseout of CFCs continuing,
and the phaseout of HCFCs on the horizon,
retrofitting existing systems to non-ozone
depleting HFCs can be a cost-effective
alternative to complete system replacement.
By following equipment manufacturers’
recommendations and the guidelines in
this publication, service technicians can
readily retrofit many CFC-12 refrigeration
systems to Genetron 134a, or convert
R-502 systems to Genetron 404A or
Genetron AZ-50 refrigerants.
Although the information in this booklet can

be helpful as a general guide, it should not
be used as a substitute for the equipment
manufacturer’s specific recommendations.
For this reason, Honeywell strongly
recommends contacting the equipment
manufacturer for detailed information on
retrofitting the specific model under
consideration. Also, refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for safety
information on the specific Genetron
Refrigerant you will use.
2 HFC Retrofit Guidelines

Genetron HFC Refrigerants
Genetron AZ-50, Genetron 404A and Genetron 134a are HFC
refrigerants and are not scheduled for phaseout under current law.
Descriptive information including refrigerant type, ASHRAE
number, constituents and applications appear in the table below.
Applications
Genetron
Refrigerant Type Replaces Applications & Comments
AZ-50 (R-507) Azeotrope R-502 Supermarket freezer cases,
reach-in coolers, display cases,
ice machines.
404A (R-404A) Blend R-502 Supermarket freezer cases,
transport refrigeration, ice machines.
134a (R-134a) Pure R-12 Supermarket display cases,
walk-in coolers, beverage dispensers,
vending machines, water coolers and
domestic refrigerators. Use where
temperature is above -10°F (-23°C).
When Should an HFC refrigerant be used?

Where feasible, the preferred replacement for CFC-12 is
Genetron 134a. Likewise, the preferred replacement for R-502 is
an HFC such as Genetron AZ-50. Although these non-ozone-
depleting HFC refrigerants are being used in many OEM
applications, there are instances where retrofitting to an HFC may
be difficult because nearly all of the mineral oil in the system must
be removed. In these situations, an interim service fluid such as a
Genetron MP blend, Genetron HP blend, Genetron 408A or
Genetron 409A may be preferred.
Service technicians should keep in mind that future regulations

may further restrict the use of HCFC refrigerants and dictate the
ultimate use of HFC refrigerants such as Genetron AZ-50,
Genetron 404A and Genetron 134a.
HFC Refrigerants are not “Drop-in” Replacements

The HFC refrigerants are not “drop-in” replacements for CFC or
HCFC refrigerants. Mineral oils and alkylbenzene lubricants, which
have been used traditionally with R-502 and R-12, are immiscible
with HFC refrigerants such as Genetron AZ-50, Genetron 404A
and Genetron 134a. These HFC refrigerants require the use of a
lubricant that is miscible with the refrigerant, such as a polyol
ester (POE) lubricant. The retrofit procedures listed here have
been developed by Honeywell to address these issues and to help
technicians perform successful retrofits of R-502 and R-12
systems utilizing positive-displacement (reciprocating, rotary,
scroll or screw) compressors.

General HFC Retrofit Procedures
A word about system preparation: In retrofitting an existing
refrigeration system, the condition of the existing seals and
gaskets must be taken into account. Heat set, compression set,
and seal shrinkage can all impact the condition of an existing seal
or gasket. When the system is put under vacuum, the sealing
device can be displaced, creating the potential for leakage.
Whenever possible, gaskets and seals should be replaced in
order to minimize the chances of an old seal or gasket becoming
a source of a leak.
1. Record Baseline Data

Before making any hardware changes, compare current system
operating data with normal operating data. Correct any
deficiencies and record final data as a performance baseline.
Data should include temperature and pressure measurements
throughout the system including the evaporator, compressor
suction and discharge, condenser and expansion device. These
measurements will be useful when adjusting the system with an
alternative Genetron Refrigerant.
2. Isolate CFC Refrigerant Charge

The CFC refrigerant charge should be isolated from the system
by pumping it down into the receiver. If no receiver is present,
the refrigerant must be removed from the system using a
recovery machine capable of meeting or exceeding the required
levels of evacuation.
The charge must be collected in a recovery cylinder dedicated to

that refrigerant (e.g., CFC-12 or CFC-502). Do not mix the
recovered material with other refrigerants in a recovery tank, as
this will result in a mixture that cannot be reclaimed. Do not vent
the refrigerant to the atmosphere.
Knowing the recommended CFC refrigerant charge size for the

system is helpful. If it is not known, weigh the entire amount of
refrigerant removed. This amount can be used as a guide for
calculating the initial quantity of alternative Genetron Refrigerant
to be charged to the system.
3. Choose Compressor Lubricant

Mineral oil or alkylbenzenes are typically used as the lubricants
for R-12 and R-502 compressors. To achieve miscibility of
Genetron AZ-50, Genetron 404A or Genetron 134a (stationary
applications), a polyol ester lubricant may be used. Honeywell
recommends using a lubricant approved by the compressor
manufacturer. Differences among polyol ester-based
lubricants make it difficult to assume that they are
interchangeable. Check with the compressor manufacturer for
the correct viscosity grade and brand for the compressor in the
system being retrofitted.
4. Drain the Lubricant

Many small hermetic compressors do not have oil drains,
making it necessary to remove the compressor from the system
to drain the lubricant. In this case, the best point in the system
to drain the lubricant is the suction line of the compressor.
Small hand-operated pumps are available which permit
insertion of a tube into the compressor suction line. For
compressors with an access port, the same hand-operated

pump can be used to remove lubricant without removing the
compressor from the system.
For larger systems, the mineral oil should be drained from

multiple points in the system. Particular attention should be paid
to low spots around the evaporator where lubricant often
collects. The mineral oil should also be drained from oil
separators and/or suction accumulators.
5. Measure Existing Lubricant

Measure and record the volume of the lubricant removed from the
system. Compare this amount with the amount recommended by
the manufacturer to ensure that the majority of lubricant has been
removed. This volume also will be used as a guide to determine
the amount of replacement lubricant to add in the next step.
Properly dispose of the old lubricant.
6. Recharge Compressor with Replacement Lubricant

Add to the compressor the same volume of HFC-compatible
lubricant as the volume of mineral oil drained in Step 5. Follow the
lubricant manufacturer’s suggestion for handling. For example, it
is recommended that polyol ester lubricant be pumped rather
than poured to avoid absorption of atmospheric moisture.
Likewise, systems charged with polyol ester lubricant should not
be left open to the atmosphere for more than 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Reinstall the Compressor

Reinstall the compressor following standard service practices
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Recharge the CFC Refrigerant

If the system charge was pumped into the receiver, the balance
of the system should be evacuated and then the receiver valves
opened. If the original charge was collected in a recovery
cylinder, the system should be evacuated and then recharged
with the original CFC refrigerant. It may be necessary to “top off”
the refrigerant charge to compensate for the small amount lost in
draining the oil.
9. Run the Compressor

Run the compressor with the replacement lubricant and the CFC
refrigerant for at least 24 hours. Next, drain the lubricant and
recharge with fresh lubricant. Check the lubricant that was
drained. Be sure the residual mineral oil or alkylbenzene content
is below 5%. Test kits are available from several lubricant
suppliers for this purpose. It usually requires about three changes
to get the residual oil content under 5%.
10. Continue to Flush the System

Repeat steps 4 through 9 until the residual mineral oil or
alkylbenzene content is below 5%. The lubricant that was
removed from the compressors in the flushing procedure must
be disposed of properly.
11. Evaluate the Expansion Device

Most R-502 and R-12 systems with thermostatic expansion
valves will operate satisfactorily with the appropriate
replacement HFC; however, it may be necessary to adjust the
superheat. For R-502 and R-12 systems equipped with a
capillary tube, in most cases the unit can be operated

satisfactorily with the original capillary tube by undercharging
the unit (as long as ambient conditions are relatively constant).
In cases where Genetron 134a has replaced R-12 and
operation of the original R-12 capillary tube is expected over a
wide range of condensing temperatures, unsatisfactory
performance may result at both high and low condensing
temperatures. The potential problems would include liquid
floodback and motor overload at high condensing
temperatures or loss of liquid seal entering the capillary tube at
low condensing temperatures.
In R-12 systems equipped with a capillary tube, the capillary

tube will have to be replaced in order to achieve satisfactory
performance with Genetron 134a over the entire range of
design conditions. Honeywell recommends consulting with
the equipment manufacturer before replacing the capillary
tube. If the manufacturer’s information is not available, consult
the table below to determine capillary tube length at the same
diameter. Although the need to change an R-502 capillary tube
is less likely, comparative tube length information for
Genetron AZ-50 and Genetron 404A is also included in the
table below. These figures are based on ASHRAE method for
capillary tube sizing.

condensing.
12. Replace the Filter Drier

Following system maintenance, a recommended service practice is
to replace the filter drier. There are two types of filter driers
commonly used in refrigeration equipment: loose-fill and solid-core.
Many, but not all, of the standard loose-fill and solid-core driers
used with CFC refrigerants are compatible with the
corresponding alternative Genetron Refrigerants. Check with
your wholesaler to make sure the replacement filter drier is
compatible with the Genetron Refrigerant being used.
13. Reconnect the System and Evacuate

Use normal service practices to reconnect and evacuate the
system. To remove air and other non-condensables, Honeywell
recommends evacuating the system to a full vacuum of 1,000
microns or less from both sides of the system. However,
attempting to evacuate a system with the pump connected only
to the low-side of the system will not adequately remove moisture
and non-condensables such as air. Use a good electronic gauge
to measure the vacuum. An accurate reading cannot be made
with a refrigeration gauge.

14. Check the System for Leaks
Check the system for leaks using normal service practices. No
leak testing should be performed using mixtures of HFCs and air,
oxygen, or other oxidizing materials.
15. Charge System with Genetron HFC Refrigerant

When replacing CFC-12 with Genetron 134a, or replacing R-502
with Genetron AZ-50, use the same charging procedures that you
would use for the refrigerant being replaced. When replacing R-
502 with Genetron 404A, it is important to remember that 404A is
a blend, not an azeotrope. It is essential that Genetron 404A be
liquid-charged by removing only liquid from the cylinder. Never
vapor charge the system with vapor from a Genetron 404A
cylinder. Vapor-charging may result in the wrong refrigerant
composition and could damage the system.
If the Genetron 404A cylinder is equipped with a dip tube, keep

the cylinder upright for liquid removal. If the Genetron 404A
cylinder does not have a dip tube, invert the cylinder for liquid
removal. A throttling valve should be used to control the flow of
refrigerant to the suction side to ensure that a liquid slug does not
enter the compressor. NOTE: To prevent compressor damage,
do not charge liquid into the suction line of the unit.
Systems being charged with Genetron 134a, Genetron AZ-50 or

Genetron 404A require a smaller charge size than the CFC
refrigerants they replace. For expansion valves or optimized
capillary tube systems, the typical charge size relative to the CFC
being replaced appears below.
Relative Charge Size

Genetron
Refrigerant R-12 Replacement R-502 Replacement
R-134a 90% not applicable
AZ-50, 404A not applicable 85%
If the original capillary tube is used, it will generally be necessary

to undercharge the system to prevent liquid floodback to the
compressor—particularly where Genetron 134a is used to replace
CFC-12.
As part of general procedure, Honeywell recommends initially

charging the system with 75 percent by weight of the original
CFC charge. For example, if the original CFC charge was 100
pounds (45 kg), initially charge 75 pounds (35 kg) of the
appropriate replacement HFC refrigerant. If, for example, the
original CFC charge was 300 grams, initially charge 225 grams of
the replacement HFC refrigerant.
16. Check System Operation

Start the system and allow conditions to stabilize. If the system is
undercharged, add refrigerant in increments of 5 percent by weight
of the original CFC charge. For example, if the original charge was
100 pounds (45 kg), charge increments of 5 pounds (2.5 kg).
Continue until desired operating conditions are achieved. If the
original CFC charge was 300 grams, charge in increments of 15
grams. Continue until desired operating conditions are achieved.
Compressor suction and discharge pressures for the HFC

refrigerants relative to the CFC refrigerants they replace are
provided here.

Comparative Suction and Discharge Pressure
• Versus R-502
Suction Discharge
AZ-50 2 psi (15 kPa) higher 18-25 psi (125-170 kPa) higher
404A 2 psi (15 kPa) higher 18-25 psi (125-170 kPa) higher
• Versus R-12
Suction Discharge
R-134a 2 psi (15 kPa) higher 3-10 psi (20-70 kPa) higher
It may be necessary to reset the high-pressure cutout to

compensate for the higher discharge pressures of the
replacement refrigerant. This procedure should be done carefully
to avoid exceeding the recommended operating limits of the
compressor and other system components. The use of an
unoptimized capillary tube will make the system more sensitive to
charge and/or operating conditions. As a result, system
performance will change more quickly if the system is
overcharged or undercharged. To avoid overcharging, it is best to
charge the system by first measuring the operating conditions
(including discharge and suctions pressures, suction line
temperature, compressor amps, superheat) instead of using the
liquid line sight glass as a guide.
17. Label Components and System

After retrofitting the system with the appropriate HFC-based
Genetron Refrigerant, label the system components to identify
the type of refrigerant (for example, Genetron AZ-50) and specify
the type of lubricant (by brand name and grade) in the system.
This will help ensure that the proper refrigerant and lubricant will
be used to service the equipment in the future.

Example: For a box temperature of -15°F (and a 15°F leaving
difference), the suction pressure would be about 11 psig. This
corresponds to a saturated suction temperature of -30°F. If the
measured temperature of the suction-line is -15°F, there is a 15°F
superheat (the difference between measured suction-line
temperature and saturated suction temperature).
To determine superheat for different conditions than above, first

note the measured suction pressure. Using the temperature-
pressure chart for Genetron AZ-50, locate the measured suction
pressure. Find the corresponding saturated temperature on the
chart. The difference between the measured suction-line
temperature and the saturated temperature is the superheat.
The expected box temperature can be found by adding the

leaving difference (usually 15-20°F) to the saturated suction
temperature.
For a head pressure of 279 psig, the condensing temperature is

HCFC Retrofit Guidelines
Although HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons)
will be phased out over the next several
decades in many countries, retrofitting
existing CFC equipment to refrigerant
blends that contain HCFCs may still remain
a cost-effective alternative to complete
equipment replacement. By following
equipment manufacturers’ recommendations
and the guidelines in this publication,
service technicians can readily retrofit many
existing CFC-12 refrigeration systems to use
Genetron MP39 or Genetron 409A. Likewise,
many R-502 systems can be retrofit to use
Genetron HP80 or Genetron 408A.
When possible, refrigeration systems should

be retrofit to use non-ozone depleting HFC
(hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants in order to
reduce the environmental impact in the
case of accidental discharge. Also, there
are no current plans to phase out HFCs in
the United States or most other countries,
and so HFCs are considered a long-term
refrigerant solution. These HCFC guidelines
are meant to provide guidance in those
situations where an HFC retrofit is not
possible or economical.
Although the information in this booklet can

be helpful as a general guide, it should not
be used as a substitute for the equipment
manufacturer’s specific recommendations.
For this reason, Honeywell strongly
recommends contacting the equipment
manufacturer for detailed information on
retrofitting the specific model under
consideration. Also, refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for safety
information on the specific Genetron
Refrigerant you will use.
16 HCFC Retrofit Guidelines

Genetron HCFC Refrigerants
Genetron MP39, Genetron MP66, and Genetron 409A are alterna-
tive refrigerants to replace CFC-12 in many medium temperature
refrigeration systems. Genetron HP80 and Genetron 408A are alter-
native refrigerants designed to replace R-502 in low- and
medium-temperature commercial refrigeration applications. These
blends contain ozone-depleting hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs),
chemicals subject to phaseout in the United States and other coun-
tries. The constituents of the refrigerant mixtures, ASHRAE numbers,
refrigerant type, and applications are given below.

Service technicians should keep in mind that future regulations

may restrict the use of HCFC refrigerants and dictate the ultimate
use of an HFC refrigerant. Where feasible, the preferred replace-
ment for CFC-12 is Genetron 134a. Likewise, the preferred
replacement for R-502 is an HFC such as Genetron AZ-50. Although
these non-ozone-depleting HFC refrigerants are being used in
many OEM applications, there are instances where retrofitting to
an HFC may be difficult because nearly all of the mineral oil in the
system must be removed. In these situations, an interim service
fluid such as a Genetron MP Blend or Genetron 409A may be

preferred as an R-12 replacement. Similarly, an interim service
fluid such as a Genetron HP80 or Genetron 408A may be pre-
ferred as a replacement for R-502.
HCFC Refrigerants are not “Drop-in” Replacements

The HCFC refrigerants are not “drop-in” replacements for the
CFC refrigerants. Genetron MP39, Genetron MP66, Genetron
HP80, Genetron 408A, and Genetron 409A, are blends and can
segregate. As a result, service technicians must acquaint them-
selves with modified service procedures to perform each retrofit
effectively. The retrofit procedures listed here have been devel-
oped by Honeywell to address these issues and to help
technicians perform successful retrofits of R-12 and R-502 sys-
tems utilizing positive-displacement (reciprocating, rotary, scroll
or screw) compressors.

General HCFC Retrofit Procedures
A word about system preparation: In retrofitting an existing refrig-
eration system, the condition of the existing seals and gaskets
must be taken into account. Heat set, compression set, and seal
shrinkage can all impact the condition of an existing seal or gas-
ket. When the system is put under vacuum, the sealing device can
be displaced, creating the potential for leakage. Whenever possi-
ble, gaskets and seals should be replaced in order to minimize the
chances of an old seal or gasket becoming a source of a leak.
1. Record Baseline Data

Before making any hardware changes, compare current system
operating data with normal operating data. Correct any deficien-
cies and record final data as a performance baseline. Data should
include temperature and pressure measurements throughout the
system including the evaporator, compressor suction and dis-
charge, condenser and expansion device. These measurements
will be useful when adjusting the system with an alternative
Genetron Refrigerant.
2. Recover CFC Refrigerant Charge

The CFC refrigerant charge should be recovered from the system
using a recovery machine capable of meeting or exceeding the
required levels of evacuation.
The charge must be collected in a recovery cylinder dedicated to

that refrigerant (e.g., CFC-12 or CFC-502). Do not mix the recov-
ered material with other refrigerants in a recovery tank, as this will
result in a mixture that cannot be reclaimed. Do not vent the
refrigerant to the atmosphere.
Knowing the recommended CFC refrigerant charge size for the

system is helpful. If it is not known, weigh the entire amount of
refrigerant removed. This amount can be used as a guide for the
initial quantity of alternative Genetron Refrigerant to be charged
to the system.
3. Drain the Lubricant

Genetron 409A has sufficient mineral oil solubility for most appli-
cations, however, at evaporating temperatures below -20°F
(-29°C), at least 50% of the mineral oil should be replaced with
alkylbenzene lubricant. Genetron MP39 and Genetron MP66
have sufficient mineral oil solubility for most medium temperature
(20°F or higher evaporating) applications where piping runs are
not exceedingly long. If piping runs are lengthy or for low-tem-
perature evaporating conditions with MP blends, at least 50% of
the mineral oil should be replaced with alkylbenzene lubricant.
Recall that for evaporating temperatures below -10°F (-7°C),
Genetron MP66 is recommended in favor of Genetron MP39.
When retrofitting low temperature R-502 systems to Genetron
HP80 or Genetron 408A, at least 50% of the mineral oil should be
replaced with alkylbenzene lubricant.
If the system being retrofitted requires removal of the existing

mineral oil, continue with Step 3. If operating conditions permit
the use of mineral oil, and the existing oil is in acceptable condi-
tion, proceed to step 7.
Many small hermetic compressors do not have oil drains, making

it necessary to remove the compressor from the system to drain
the lubricant. In this case, the best point in the system to drain the

lubricant is the suction line of the compressor. Small hand-oper-
ated pumps are available which permit insertion of a tube into the
compressor suction line. For compressors with an access port,
the same hand-operated pump can be used to remove lubricant
without removing the compressor from the system.
For larger systems, the mineral oil should be drained from

multiple points in the system. Particular attention should be paid
to low spots around the evaporator where lubricant often
collects. The mineral oil should also be drained from oil
separators and/or suction accumulators.
4. Measure Existing Lubricant

Measure and record the volume of the lubricant removed from the
system. Compare this amount with the amount recommended by
the manufacturer to ensure that the majority of lubricant has been
removed. This volume also will be used as a guide to determine the
amount of alkylbenzene lubricant to add in the next step.
5. Recharge Compressor with Alkylbenzene Lubricant

Add to the compressor the same volume of alkylbenzene lubricant
as the volume of mineral oil drained in Step 4. Honeywell
recommends using a commercially available alkylbenzene lubricant
of the same viscosity as the mineral oil. Check with the compressor
manufacturer for the correct viscosity grade.
6. Reinstall the Compressor

If the compressor was removed to drain the oil, reinstall the
compressor following standard service practices recommended
by the manufacturer.
7. Evaluate the Expansion Device

Most R-502 and R-12 systems with thermostatic expansion valves
will operate satisfactorily with the appropriate interim HCFC blend,
however, it may be necessary to adjust the superheat.
In most cases, an existing R-502 capillary tube can be expected to

operate satisfactorily with HP80. In the case of Genetron 408A,
the mass flow is about 75% of that for R-502. The mass flows of
the R-12 replacements are measurably lower than R-12. Hence for
R-408A and likewise, for the R-12 replacements, a more restrictive
capillary is required to achieve satisfactory performance over the
entire range of design conditions.
Honeywell recommends consulting with the equipment manufacturer

before replacing the capillary tube. If the manufacturer’s information
is not available, consult the table on the following page to determine
capillary tube length at the same diameter. These figures are based
on ASHRAE method for capillary tube sizing.
When considering the R-12 replacements or R-408A (for

replacement of R-502), if operation of the original capillary tube
is expected over a wide range of condensing temperatures,
unsatisfactory performance may result at both high and low
condensing temperatures. The potential problems would
include liquid floodback and motor overload at high
condensing temperatures and loss of liquid seal entering the
capillary tube at low condensing temperatures. Only in a
situation where ambient conditions are expected to be
relatively constant can using the original capillary tube and
undercharging the unit be considered.

8. Replace the Filter Drier

Following system maintenance, a recommended service practice is
to replace the filter drier. There are two types of filter driers
commonly used in refrigeration equipment; loose-fill and solid-core.
Many, but not all, of the standard loose-fill and solid-core

driers used with CFC refrigerants are compatible with the
corresponding alternative Genetron Refrigerants. Check with your
wholesaler to make sure the replacement filter drier is compatible
with the Genetron Refrigerant being used.
9. Reconnect the System and Evacuate

Use normal service practices to reconnect and evacuate the
system. To remove air and other non-condensables, Honeywell
recommends evacuating the system to a full vacuum of 1,000
microns or less from both sides of the system. However,
attempting to evacuate a system with the pump connected only
to the low-side of the system will not adequately remove
moisture and non-condensables such as air. Use a good
electronic gauge to measure the vacuum. An accurate reading
cannot be made with a refrigeration gauge.
10. Check the System for Leaks

Check the system for leaks using normal service practices.
11. Charge System with Alternative Genetron Refrigerant Blend

When charging an R-12 system with either Genetron MP39,
Genetron MP66, or Genetron 409A or when charging an R-502
system with Genetron HP80 or Genetron 408A, it is important to
remember that these products are blends and not azeotropes. This
means the composition of the vapor is not the same as the
composition of the liquid. It is essential that these refrigerants be
liquid-charged by removing only liquid from the cylinder. Never
charge the system with vapor from a refrigerant blend cylinder.
Doing so will result in the wrong refrigerant composition and may
lead to a loss of system performance. Cylinders for the refrigerant
blends that are equipped with a dip tube should be kept upright for
liquid removal. Cylinders for the refrigerant blends that do not
contain a dip tube should be inverted in order to withdraw liquid. A
throttling valve should be used to control the flow of refrigerant to
the suction side to ensure that a liquid slug cannot enter the
compressor. NOTE: To prevent compressor damage, do not directly
charge liquid into the suction line of the unit.

12. Use Correct Charge Size
Systems being charged with Genetron MP blends or Genetron
409A will require a smaller charge size than those using R-12.
Genetron HP80 and Genetron 408A charge sizes are smaller than
the R-502 charge size being replaced. For expansion valves or
optimized capillary tube systems, the typical charge size relative
to the CFC being replaced appears below.
Relative Charge Size

Genetron
Refrigerant R-12 Replacement R-502 Replacement
MP39, MP66 90% not applicable
409A 93% not applicable
HP80 not applicable 95%
408A not applicable 85%
Where MP39, MP66, or 409A has replaced CFC-12 or when 408A

has replaced R-502 and the original capillary tube is used, it will
generally be necessary to undercharge the system to prevent
liquid floodback to the compressor. As part of general procedure,
Honeywell recommends initially charging the system with 75
percent by weight of the original CFC charge. For example, if the
original CFC charge was 100 pounds (45 kg), initially charge 75
pounds (35 kg) of the appropriate replacement blend. If, for
example, the original CFC charge was 300 grams, initially charge
225 grams of the replacement blend.
13. Check System Operation

Start the system and allow conditions to stabilize. If the system is
undercharged, add refrigerant in increments of 5 percent by weight
of the original CFC charge. For example, if the original charge was
100 pounds (45 kg), charge increments of 5 pounds (2.5 kg).
Continue until desired operating conditions have been achieved.
Compressor suction and discharge pressures for the HCFC

refrigerants relative to the CFC refrigerants they replace is given
below.

• Versus R-12
Suction Discharge
MP39 Within 1 psi (5-10 kPa) 10-20 psi (70-150 kPa) higher
MP66 Comparable at -20°F (-29°C) Up to 70 psi (450-500 kPa) higher
Evaporator 8-9 psi higher with extreme ambient conditions
at 25°F (-4°C) evaporator
409A 4 psi (25-30 kPa) higher 15-20 psi (100-175 kPa) higher
• Versus R-502
Suction Discharge
HP80 5 psi (35 kPa) higher 40-50 psi (275-350 kPa) higher
408A 1-2 psi (7-14 kPa) higher 1-10 psi (7-70 kPa) higher

compensate for the higher discharge pressures of the replacement
refrigerant. This procedure should be done carefully to avoid
exceeding the recommended operating limits of the compressor
and other system components. The use of the original capillary
tube will make the system more sensitive to charge and/or
operating conditions. As a result, system performance will change

more quickly if the system is overcharged or undercharged. To
avoid overcharging, it is best to charge the system by first
measuring the operating conditions (including discharge and
suctions pressures, suction line temperature, compressor amps,
superheat) instead of using the liquid line sight glass as a guide.
14. Label Components and System

After retrofitting the system with the appropriate HCFC-based
Genetron Refrigerant, label the system components to identify
the type of refrigerant (for example, Genetron MP39) and specify
the type of alkylbenzene lubricant (by brand name) in the system.
This will help ensure that the proper refrigerant and lubricant will
be used to service the equipment in the future.

Expansion Device
The capacity of an existing R-502 thermostatic expansion valve
(TXV) will be oversized but may be acceptable when using R-
408A. However, the superheat setting should be checked and
may have to be readjusted after the system is put back into
operation. If hunting of the TXV cannot be minimized by
adjustment, the valve should be replaced with a smaller one.
Honeywell recommends consulting with the TXV manufacturer
for correct sizing and superheat setting.
An existing capillary tube will be unsatisfactory with R-408A. If

operation of the original capillary tube is expected over a wide
range of condensing temperatures, unsatisfactory performance
may result at both high and low condensing temperatures. The
potential problems would include liquid floodback and motor
overload at high condensing temperatures and loss of liquid seal
entering the capillary tube at low condensing temperatures. Only
in a situation where ambient conditions are expected to be
relatively constant can using the original capillary tube and
undercharging the unit be considered.
The mass flow rate of R-408A is about 75% of that for R-502. R-
408A will require a more restrictive capillary tube in order to
achieve satisfactory performance over the entire range of design
conditions. Honeywell recommends consulting with the
equipment manufacturer before replacing the capillary tube. If the
manufacturer’s information is unavailable, it is recommended that
a new capillary tube of the same diameter but twice the length of
the original be used.

R-408A 1-2 psi (7-14 kPa) higher 1-10 psi higher (10-70 kPa) higher

compensate for higher discharge pressures.

To determine superheat for a different box temperature, first note the

measured suction pressure. Using the temperature-pressure chart for
Genetron 408A, locate the measured suction pressure in the “dew”
pressure column. Find the corresponding saturated temperature on
the chart. The difference between the saturated temperature and the
measured suction-line temperature is the superheat.

be found by adding the leaving difference ( usually 15-20°F) to the

pressure-temperature table.
