    0 0 0 0 0 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS REFRIGERANT AND THE NEW RE- FRIGERANT [1] Chemical Characteristics The new refrigerant (R407C) is a chemically stable non-combustible refrigerant with few of the same characteristics as R22. However, the vapor specific gravity is heavier than the specific gravity of air, so if the refrigerant leaks out in a closed room, it remains on the bottom near the floor and there is danger of accidents occurring due to lack of oxygen, so always handle it in an atmosphere with good ventilation where the refrigerant won’t accumulate.
