FAQs about R134A Refrigerant

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of R134A refrigerant compared with R22?

First of all, R134A is mainly used as a refrigerant for automobiles and household refrigerators and is a new type of fluorine-free refrigerant. R22 is mainly used as a refrigerant for household air conditioners and cold storage, which pollutes the air and has been phased out.

2. Which of the refrigerants R134a and R22 is better for refrigeration?

R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) is the most widely used medium and low temperature environmentally friendly refrigerant. It has good comprehensive performance, making it a very effective and safe R12 (Dichlorodifluoromethane) can be used in most fields where R12 refrigerant is used. R22 is a colorless, almost odorless gas at room temperature, non-flammable, non-explosive, non-corrosive, slightly more toxic than R12, but still a safe refrigerant, with a safety classification of A1.

Compared with the two, R134a refrigerant will be more environmentally friendly.

3. What are the characteristics of R134a refrigerant?

The main features of refrigerant R134a are:

a. R134a does not contain chlorine atoms and does not damage the atmospheric ozone layer.

b. R134a has good safety performance (non-flammable, non-explosive, non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-corrosive).

c. The heat transfer performance of R134a is relatively close, so the modification of the refrigeration system is relatively easy.

d. The heat transfer performance of R134a is better than that of R12, so the amount of refrigerant can be greatly reduced.

4. Are refrigerants R134a and R407c interchangeable?

The two are not interchangeable. Although both are environmentally friendly refrigerants, their characteristics are different, and the configurations of the designed refrigeration equipment are also different. R407c is a medium-high temperature refrigerant with characteristics close to R22, and it is an alternative refrigerant to R22. R134a is a medium-low temperature environmentally friendly refrigerant, which has characteristics similar to R12 and is an alternative refrigerant to R12.
