    R 414b is normally used to retrofit an R-12 system it has a lower density then R-22 so the new compressor may loose about 30% efficiency at 20 *F evaporator and this could make the condenser too big but if you use it you need to pay attention to the following:
    . TXV valve adjustment / superheat setting (use Vapor side of PT chart)
    · Pressure controls (cut in / cut out)
    · Pressure related switches or controls – difference from R-22 pressures
    · Irregular frost formation with high glide blends
