R22 Refrigerant Gas Kenya — Why It Remains the Highest-Volume Grade in 2026
R22 (chlorodifluoromethane, HCFC-22) remains the highest-volume refrigerant grade in Kenya’s AC service market in 2026 — not because it is new technology, but because a very large installed base of Kenyan split AC units, window AC units, and commercial refrigeration systems installed between the 1990s and 2015 still run on R22 and remain in active daily service across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and every Kenyan secondary city. These units will not be replaced overnight. In Kenya’s economic environment, a functional R22 air conditioner that needs a refrigerant top-up will continue to be recharged with R22 for years rather than replaced with a new R410a system.
Al Waleed stocks WESTRON® and MAXRON® certified R22 at our Dubai warehouse and exports wholesale to Kenya via sea freight to Mombasa Port in 18–22 days and air freight to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for urgent orders. Every cylinder is factory-sealed with intact tamper-evident valve protection, UAE-origin certified, and accompanied by correct IMDG dangerous goods documentation for KRA customs clearance at Mombasa — the standard that distinguishes genuine certified R22 from the counterfeit and recycled gas that enters Kenya’s market through informal trading channels.
R22 Gas Price Kenya — Why Prices Are Rising and What to Expect
Kenya is implementing its HCFC phase-down under the Montreal Protocol schedule for Article 5 (developing) countries — meaning R22 import quotas are being progressively reduced year by year. As global R22 production declines and import quotas tighten, the R22 gas price in Kenya has been on a consistent upward trend since 2020. This price trend is structural — it reflects the planned phase-out of R22 production globally — not temporary market fluctuation. Kenyan HVAC dealers who import R22 from Al Waleed Dubai should plan their volumes accounting for this price trend: buying ahead of confirmed price increases and maintaining adequate stock levels protects dealer margin better than reactive small orders at increasing spot prices. Al Waleed’s export desk can advise on current Dubai R22 pricing and availability for planning purposes — WhatsApp +971 566 952 848.
WESTRON® & MAXRON® R22 — Available for Kenya Export
WESTRON® R22 — 13.6kg Cylinder
Bulk Dealer Stock · Sea Freight to Mombasa Port
The standard import format for Kenyan R22 dealers — 13.6kg bulk cylinders provide sufficient volume for multiple AC recharges per cylinder, making them the most cost-effective import format for wholesale dealer stocking. WESTRON® R22 13.6kg is the primary bulk R22 product imported by Kenyan HVAC dealers from Dubai, stocked in Nairobi or Mombasa warehouses and sold by the cylinder to contractors or decanted for field service.
UN Number: UN 1018 · Hazard Class: 2.2 · Net Weight: 13.6kg per cylinder
WESTRON® R22 — 1kg Small Cylinder
Retail-Ready · Over-Counter Sales to Technicians
WESTRON® R22 1kg small cylinders are the portable, single-use format designed for retail sale to individual HVAC technicians — the cylinder a Kenyan AC technician buys for a single residential service call. Dealers who sell to independent technicians alongside contracting companies find 1kg cylinders generate significantly higher margin per kilogram than bulk 13.6kg cylinders, making them a valuable addition to any Kenyan HVAC dealer’s product mix.

MAXRON® R22 — 13.6kg Cylinder
Competitive Price Point · UAE Certified
MAXRON® R22 in 13.6kg cylinders offers the same certified UAE-origin specification as WESTRON® at Al Waleed’s most competitive R22 price point — for price-sensitive Kenyan dealers who need to compete on cost in their local market while maintaining the genuine certified quality that protects their reputation and their customers’ AC systems. Same IMDG documentation. Same factory-sealed quality. Best-value R22 from Dubai to Mombasa.

R22 Technical Reference — For Kenyan HVAC Technicians
| Property | R22 Value | Kenya Service Note |
|---|---|---|
| Classification | HCFC — A1 (non-flammable) | Safe to handle with standard precautions — no flammability risk |
| Compressor oil type | Mineral oil or alkylbenzene | Never use POE oil in an R22 system — POE is for R410a systems only |
| Charging method | Vapour — single compound | Charge as vapour from upright cylinder — no fractionation risk with R22 |
| Discharge pressure (Nairobi ~30°C) | Approx. 10–13 bar | Use R22-specific manifold gauges only |
| Discharge pressure (Mombasa ~38°C) | Approx. 12–15 bar | Coastal Kenya higher ambient raises discharge pressure vs Nairobi |
| Cylinder colour (standard) | Light green / aqua | Verify label and intact seal before use — colour alone does not confirm genuine product |
| Compatibility with R410a gauges | Not compatible | Always use R22-specific manifold gauges — R410a operates at much higher pressures |
Frequently Asked Questions — R22 Refrigerant Gas Kenya
Is R22 still legally available for import to Kenya in 2026?
Yes — R22 remains available for import to Kenya in 2026 for the purpose of servicing the existing R22 AC installed base, subject to Kenya’s annual HCFC import quota under the Montreal Protocol. Kenya’s phase-down schedule means import quotas reduce gradually over time, but they have not been eliminated — R22 service gas can still be legally imported and used for maintaining existing R22 systems. New R22-based AC system installations (new equipment charged with R22) are the activity that is being phased out, not the service refrigerant for maintaining existing systems. Al Waleed supplies R22 to Kenya while UAE supply and Kenyan import quotas allow. WhatsApp our export desk for current availability.
What is the r22 gas price per kg in Kenya from Dubai in 2026?
R22 pricing from Dubai fluctuates with global feedstock supply and demand as phase-down tightens. Indicative Dubai FOB price for WESTRON® and MAXRON® R22 in 13.6kg cylinders is in the range of USD 55–75 per cylinder (approximately USD 4–6 per kg net weight) in early 2026, but this can shift significantly week to week. The landed cost per kg in Kenya will be higher after adding sea freight to Mombasa Port, KRA import duties, customs clearance fees, and inland delivery. WhatsApp Al Waleed at +971 566 952 848 for a confirmed current price before planning your order.
How do I identify counterfeit R22 before using it on a customer’s system in Kenya?
Five checks before using any R22 cylinder: (1) verify the factory tamper-evident seal on the valve cap is intact and unbroken; (2) weigh the cylinder — a genuine full 13.6kg cylinder weighs approximately 13.6kg net plus the steel cylinder tare weight; (3) examine the label for sharp printing and correct brand typography; (4) confirm the supplier provided a commercial invoice and certificate of UAE origin; (5) after connecting to a system, verify that system pressure at a known ambient temperature matches R22’s published saturation table. Significant deviation from expected pressure indicates contaminated or mixed gas. Al Waleed R22 passes all five checks on every cylinder supplied to Kenya.
