NO
Freeze-12 is compatible with R-12 as well as with 134a refrigerants. It may be hard to find, though, because it has been discontinued.?æ
No its not. 409a is compatible with r-12 but not 134a.
Is r-22 Freon compatible with r-134a freon?
Ester (A.K.A. POE & polyolester oil) is used to lubricate air conditioning compressors. It is compatible with both R-12 and R-134a refrigerants. It is the only compressor oil compatible with R-12 systems that are retrofitted to R-134a.
No! they are not compatible and should never be mixed. You must use one or the other.
yes it does r12. if you dont want to convert to the 134a. you can use freeze 12.
Buy a conversion kit (R-12-R-134A) at Wal-Mart or auto parts comes with instructions
A key design change for HFC-134a AC systems compared to CFC-12 systems was the need for different materials and components to accommodate the properties of HFC-134a. HFC-134a operates at higher pressures than CFC-12, necessitating stronger hoses, seals, and components to prevent leaks and ensure reliability. Additionally, the lubricant used in HFC-134a systems had to be changed from mineral oil, typically used with CFC-12, to synthetic oils that are compatible with the new refrigerant.
It replaced R-12 and Freon as a refrigerant. It is not always compatible with the old R-12 or Freon systems though, so check with the vehicle's dealer about compatibility and/or conversion.
Most systems using R-134a as a refrigerant.
Using the same service equipment for both CFC-12 and HFC-134a systems can lead to contamination and potential system damage. CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a) have different chemical properties and compatibility issues, which can affect the performance of the refrigerant and the system. Additionally, the oil used in CFC-12 systems is not compatible with HFC-134a, potentially causing lubrication problems. Therefore, it's essential to use dedicated equipment for each refrigerant type to ensure safe and effective servicing.
The boiling point of R-12 is given as -29.8oC. Now replaced by R-134A which had a boiling point of -26.3oC. Some oils and rubbers previously used with R-12 may not be compatible with R-134A.
