    R404a or R407c?



    I've used R407c since a year ago.
    recently I get problems to get it.
    Some suppliers offer me to use R404a.
    which one is better??
    what is the effect of using
    R404a to my compressors and my AC...

    R404a was developed for refrigeration, not for air conditioners. Pressures of operation are higher.
    Even before discussing any performance issue, I would suggest to stay with R407c.
