A pain in the butt if you do it their way. I have two vehicles AC air systems running on RS12A. Today it took 30 minutes to convert my Oldsmobile from R12 to RS12A. Being as how all the r12 was gone this was an easy project. type in "Evirosafe" on your search engine nad look for freon or RS12A
R134a is all that is available If you have an R12 system You have to retrofit to R134a I didn't go through the hassle of changing the entire system to r134a I just recharged the system with the new freon and it's working just fine. The coolant even last longer.
There is no Freon in a 2007 vehicle. It uses R134a refrigerant. The resivoir is the entire system.
No, an R134a compressor cannot directly replace an R22 compressor due to differences in refrigerant properties and system requirements. R134a and R22 operate at different pressures and have different lubrication needs, so using an R134a compressor in an R22 system could lead to inefficiency or damage. If converting from R22 to R134a, the entire system, including the compressor, evaporator, and condenser, typically needs to be modified or replaced to accommodate the different refrigerant.
No R134a is used only the cars, and R22 is only used for home central ac system. If you would like more information about R134a you can log on to www.idqusa.com.
r134a is a refrigerant (freon) added to the air-conditioning system. It has no color, but can be purchased with a dye (usually red) in it to detect leaks in the system.
It takes R134a freon, that's it, no special type..........
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.
Yes!
No, you should not use R134a refrigerant to top off an R404A system. R134a and R404A have different chemical compositions and performance characteristics, which can lead to inefficiencies, potential damage to the system, and violation of environmental regulations. It's important to use the specified refrigerant for your system to ensure proper operation and compliance.
The auto industry went to R134a. If you're asking for a substitute for R12 in your vehicle's AC system, there isn't one - to switch to R134a requires conversion of your system.
There may be a difference in how each gas effects different seals & gaskets, so they probably should be changed to compatible items. But the cost may not be worth changing until there is a problem if any, then get a recon done. On a vehicle or house system, pump out the Freon r12 into a gas bottle (well vacuum the bottle 1st really to suck it in). Then pump in R134a (well vacuum the aircon system & then it sucks in the R134a). Or - just ask a Refridgeration maintenance guy to filler-up & check for leaks.
