Warning: R-410A systems operate at much higher pressures than R-22. Elins Nigeria advises that all service tools (gauges, hoses, and recovery tanks) must be specifically rated for R-410A high-pressure service.
Market Insight: In the Nigerian market, Arkema Forane is respected as a “Professional Grade” gas. While cheaper alternatives exist, Elins Nigeria positions Forane® as the insurance policy for expensive Inverter AC motherboards and compressors. Using high-purity Arkema gas prevents the “moisture-acid” reaction in POE oil that frequently causes system failures in the humid coastal climates of Lagos and Port Harcourt.
Safety Note for : R-410A is a high-pressure refrigerant. It is NOT a drop-in replacement for R-22 systems. Attempting to use R-410A in R-22 equipment will lead to catastrophic system failure or explosion. Always verify the compressor label before charging. Contact Elins technical support if you are unsure of system compatibility.
