Nice post Jeffmay.
Almost makes me want to start going to church again.
I think hacking is based on an intelligent and informed contempt for propriety.
To proceed down the path of the hacker requires keen knowledge of the process and a deep regard for your personal safety.

Isn't DonT really asking the question, "Can I run R410a in my new R22 compressor?"
My short answer to DonT is that the new R22 compressor may not be up to the higher pressure of R410a. Additionally, it would require a lubricant change, etc.
However, your new R22 compressor would be a dandy candidate for R290. No lubricant change required.
Hack on, my brother.
