REFRIGERANT
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant used in this Air Conditioning System is a HydroFluoroCarbon (HFC), type R-134a. Unlike R-12,
which is a ChloroFluoroCarbon (CFC), R-134a refrigerant does not contain ozone-depleting chlorine. R-134a refrig-
erant is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear, and colorless liquefied gas.
Even though R-134a does not contain chlorine, it must be reclaimed and recycled just like CFC-type refrigerants.
This is because R-134a is a greenhouse gas and can contribute to global warming.
OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an Air Conditioning System. Even a small amount of
R-12 added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause Compressor failure, refrigerant oil sludge or poor Air Con-
ditioning System performance. In addition, the PolyAlkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oils used in an
