R134a is a zero ozone depletion (ODP) hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant. It is used on its own as a pure refrigerant and as a component in a large number of refrigerant blends. It is widely used in new equipment that would have previously used CFC R12 and can with specific modifications be retrofitted into exiting R12 equipment.

Applications

Household Refrigerators
Automotive Air Conditioning
Heat Pumps
Chillers
Transport Refrigeration
Commercial Cooling
Leak Detection in Automotive
Air-Conditioning (UV134a) Polyol Ester

Lubricant Recommendation

Compatible with polyolester lubricant for stationary equipment and polyalkaline glycol for automotive A/C systems.

Charging

Charging with Gas UK R134a cylinders can be done either as a vapour or a liquid.

Properties and Performance

R134a is designed to meet the needs of many air conditioning and medium temperature refrigeration systems. R134a is a single component refrigerant, rated A1 by ASHRAE (lowest levels of toxicity and flammability), has zero ozone depletion potential and a Global Warming Potential of 1430.
