CFCs, or Chlorofluorocarbons, are the original refrigerant. They consist of Carbon, Chlorine, and Fluorine. When you hear someone say âRefrigerant,â they are referring to CFCs. HCFCs, or Hydrochloroflourocarbons, are the close neighbor of CFCs. The main difference between the two types of refrigerant is that HCFCs contain one additional
This SAE Standard is to establish the specific minimum equipment requirements for the recovery/recycling of HFC-134a that has been directly removed from, and is intended for reuse in, mobile air-conditioning systems and recovery/recycling and system recharging of recycled or virgin HFC-134a.R134a..Here "a" is used to denote that it is an isomer. R134 and R134a have same chemical formula and atomic weight but different chemical structures. R134 has NBP of about -19 C whereas R134a has a NBP of about -26C. And dont use capital 'A' in R134a âŚ. "A" denotes that the refrigerant is non -azeotropic. ResearchGateRe: 12, 12a, 134a. R-12 is not the same as R-12a. The latter, a so-called alternative refrigerant (RedTek, etc.), is a hydrocarbon-based, highly flammable, propane formulation that is marketed as a replacement for R-12. Moreover, R-12a often contains additives, like sealers and "performance enhancers," that can be very harmful to A/C systems
