correction Question for AC Hacker or anyone interested in refrigerants.

Is R22a suitable for use in a home heat pump? The reason I am asking is my understanding is that it is made from propane which is flammable and may not be legal in the US. I haven't verified that.

Also, is R22a any better than propane run through a double filter and a reclaim machine? I have not been able to find the complete specifications on R22a. I found the specifications for R290 on the Linde Group refrigerants. Seems we could make our own to these specifications.

Thanks for your help Charlesfl
