Can R134A replace R12?
An R12 system must be retrofitted to be made compatible with R-134a.
Is r12 and r134a compatible?
no u can not mix the 2 togather it wil ruin the hvac system
Why cant you add r12 to r134 what happens?
Why would you want to even consider doing this? R12 is no longer in production and as such it cost almost 4 times as much as R134. But to answer your question, use R12 in a R134 system and you will destroy the compressor as the oil is not compatible with R134 oil.
Is R12 Compatible with R22?
No it's not. R22 is designed for use in home HVAC systems where as R12 is intended for automotive systems. Using R22 in an automobile will cause swelling of seals and hoses, possible compressor failure due to different running pressures.

What happens when refrigerant hydrolyzes with water?
When refrigerant hydrolyzes with water, it forms acids like hydrochloric acid, which can be corrosive. This can lead to damage in the refrigeration system, affecting its efficiency and potentially causing leaks. Additionally, it can create byproducts that may be harmful to the environment if released.
Can you recharge the freon in your 1995 cavalier?
Freon R12 refrigerant is so very expensive that I recommend you have the A/C converted to R134a. But first you must have the leak repaired. The shop will then remove any R12 left in the system, flush the system to remove the old oil, install fresh oil that is compatible with R134a, and charge the system. If there is any R12 left they may pay you to recover it.
Can you put 134a freon in 1992 ac?
There were some R134a units in 1992, but they were not the norm. Most likely, you have an R12 unit, which requires retrofitting in order to be compatible with R134a.
Can you mix R22 134A R502 freon?
Not unless you like the idea of destroying your AC system.
Any risks involved in converting AC R12 to R134A with your 90 VW Passat?
YOU WILL NEED TO FLUSH THE SYSTEM TO REMOVE THE OLD OIL. ALSO INSTALL A HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH AS REQUIRED BY THE EPA. THEN INSTALL CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL COMPATIBLE WITH R134A. CHARGE TO ABOUT 80% OF R12 BY WEIGHT.

How many cans of freon does a 1992 Honda accord take?
You do not want to buy Freon as it is very, very, expensive. Have the leak repaired, the system purged of all Freon R12 and the oil. Have it converted over to R134 refrigerant. You cannot just add R134 as the oil used in R12 is not compatible with R134. You will be money ahead by converting it.
