As of October 2023, R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane), a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), is largely phased out due to its harmful effects on the ozone layer. However, some countries, particularly in the developing world, may still use R12 in certain applications, especially where retrofitting to alternatives is not feasible. This includes some regions in Africa and parts of Asia, where enforcement of international agreements like the Montreal Protocol may be less stringent. Nonetheless, global efforts continue to eliminate the use of R12 and encourage the transition to more environmentally friendly refrigerants.
What else can I help you with?
Can you obtain R12 refrigerant for a 1987 Chrysler 5th Ave?
R12, if still available at your local parts store (requires a license), is very expensive. It is cheaper to retrofit the system to use r134a.
What freon does a 1992 Ford Ranger use?
It originally came with Freon (R12). Unless it has been converted then it will still contains R12. I suggest you have it converted to R134a, as Freon is so very expensive and hard to find.
Do some countries still use R12 and R22 freons?
Yes, some countries still use R12 and R22 refrigerants, although their usage is declining due to environmental regulations. R12, a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), has been largely phased out globally under the Montreal Protocol due to its ozone-depleting potential. R22, a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), is also being phased out, with many countries implementing timelines for its elimination. However, in certain regions with less stringent regulations or older equipment, these refrigerants may still be in use.
What kind of freon is in an original 88 Honda accord?
R12 And if you still have this change over to 134a instead of buy r12
What type of freon can you use in a dodge dynasty?
It was built with R12, can be coverted to R134aIt was built with R12, can be coverted to R134a
What oil do you use with r12 a 93 gm car?
Mineral oil is used with all R12 systems.
How much does r12 cost?
The cost of R12 varies a great deal. The use of R12 is illegal in some places and requires certification in others. It is estimated that a pound of R12 currently costs approximately $20 US dollars.
Do they make R12 refrigerant anymore?
No, R12 refrigerant is no longer manufactured due to its high ozone-depleting potential. Production of R12 was phased out in the United States and many other countries in the late 1990s, following the Montreal Protocol aimed at protecting the ozone layer. While it is still possible to find recycled R12 in some markets, its use is heavily regulated, and alternatives are now widely encouraged.
Where do you put the oil in your R12 compressor?
First of all, you don't use R12. Rather, R134 which has the oil included.
What brand of R12 did Ford use in their 1995 trucks?
They didn't use R12 in 1995 - they'd all gone to R134a by then. Which is fortunate for you, because you can't even buy small cans of R12 without Section 609 certification.
How do you know if r12 freon is in vehicle?
If if it a 1995 or older then it came with R12 installed. 1996 can be R12 or R134. 1997 up, it has R134/R134a. If you suspect it had R12 look for a label somewhere on the A/C unit signifying it has been converted. If you find it has R12 and is leaking and needs repairing, after the leak is repaired, convert it to R134a. R12 is far too expensive to use.
What type of freon does a 1985 corvette use?
r12
