R502 is a refrigerant blend that contains R22 and R115, and it is considered a substitute for R12 in certain applications. While R502 can be used in systems designed for R12, compatibility depends on the specific system components and conditions. It's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines and consider factors like oil compatibility and system pressure before making a switch. However, due to environmental regulations, R502 is also being phased out, similar to R12.
An R12 system must be retrofitted to be made compatible with R-134a.
no u can not mix the 2 togather it wil ruin the hvac system
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.
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.

Installing R12 refrigerant requires specific equipment and knowledge of refrigerant handling. First, ensure that the system is compatible with R12 and that you're following all local regulations for refrigerant handling. Connect a refrigerant gauge set to the service ports of the system, then use a refrigerant recovery machine to reclaim any existing refrigerant before adding R12. Finally, slowly introduce R12 into the system while monitoring pressure gauges to ensure proper levels are maintained. Always prioritize safety and consider consulting a certified technician for assistance.
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.
Not unless you like the idea of destroying your AC system.
R12 refrigerant is not compatible with most modern refrigerants due to its chemical structure and the fact that it is a CFC, which has been phased out due to environmental regulations. However, some alternatives like R134a and R404A can be used in systems designed for them, but retrofitting is typically required. It’s essential to ensure that the lubricants and components in the system are compatible with the new refrigerant to avoid system damage or inefficiency. Always consult with a professional before making any changes to refrigerant types.
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.
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.
