R-404A and R-134a are not compatible for use in the same system. R-404A is a blend of refrigerants, primarily used in low-temperature applications, while R-134a is a single-component refrigerant commonly used in medium-temperature applications. Mixing them can lead to reduced efficiency, system damage, and operational issues. Always consult manufacturer guidelines and refrigerant compatibility charts before making any changes to refrigerant types.
No r404a is not compatible with r409a, r134a and 404a use the same lubricates and are compatible but r409a use a different lub making them incompatible
Is r-22 Freon compatible with r-134a freon?
NO
R404A is a refrigerant commonly used in medium and high-temperature refrigeration applications, such as in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It is compatible with various oils, including polyolester (POE) oils, which are commonly used with HFC refrigerants. Equipment designed for R404A should be constructed from materials resistant to chemical breakdown and should ensure proper seals to prevent leaks. Additionally, R404A can typically be used with systems designed for R22, but retrofitting may be required.
Most systems using R-134a as a refrigerant.
No its not. 409a is compatible with r-12 but not 134a.
An R12 system must be retrofitted to be made compatible with R-134a.
The difference between brands of 134a refrigerant are largely in their quality control and price. In order to keep with standards, all are required to sell compatible refrigerant.
No
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.
