REFRIGERANT-A/C DESCRIPTION The refrigerant used in this air conditioning system is a HydroFluoroCarbon (HFC), type R-134a. Unlike R-12, which Even though R-134a does not contain chlorine, it must be reclaimed and recycled just like CFC-type refrigerants. OPERATION R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a small amount of R-12 refrigerant R-134a refrigerant system service ports, service tool couplers and refrigerant dispensing bottles have all been 24 - 492 PLUMBING WK |
