R134a

R134a

GWP: 1,526
R134a is a HFC, used in automotive air conditioning and as a replacement for R12 and R22 in medium and high temperature refrigeration applications, such as commercial and domestic refrigeration and chillers.
Product Features and Benefits
  • Substitute for R12, with comparable physical and thermodynamic properties

  • Refrigerant can be charged from either the liquid or vapour phase

  • A‑Gas refrigerant cylinders have dual port valves, making liquid offtake easier

  • Non-flammable with a safety classification of A1

  • Compressors must be charged with polyolester oils - contact the compressor manufacturer for more information

  • Reduction of capacity compared to R12

  • Existing R12 equipment can be retrofitted with R134a

  • High critical temperature which ensures good coefficient of performance

R22 (Dichlorodifluoromethane) | Product Information

R22 is a HCFC and has been the dominant refrigerant in residential and commercial air conditioning. It is being phased out due to its high ozone depleting potential.
