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.
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.
I would be surprised if it was anything but R12
The type of refrigerant that an E 34 needs is R12 refrigerant. It is absolutely necessary that you do not put any other type of refrigerant into a R12.
The 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300D originally used R12 refrigerant in its air conditioning system. However, due to environmental regulations and the phase-out of R12, many owners have retrofitted their systems to use R134a refrigerant. If retrofitting, it's important to ensure that the system is properly serviced and compatible with the new refrigerant.
