I have a fairly old but effective heat pump for a large property fitted with two Danfoss (Maneurop) MT80 compressors, one of which has just failed. I have a brand new compressor waiting to be fitted but because of the phase out of R22 I'm struggling to find anyone with recovered R22 who will do this. Some time ago I was told by my local service co. that the oil in the compressors could be changed and R407 refrigerant used but thev have now backtracked on that and say that the whole system is obsolete.
Can you advise,
(a) is R22 still available for such operations?
(b) can the oil/refrigerant be changed to comply with new regulations so that I can extend the life of the system?
