REFRIGERANTS & MINIMISING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT When working with refrigerants, it’s important to consider the detrimental effects of a leaking AC system on the environment. R134a, a Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant, was developed in 1992 as a replacement for R12.
then, R134a has been the automotive refrigerant of choice. R134a has a Global Warming Potential (GWP)
that releasing one gram of R134a into the atmosphere would have the same global warming impact as releasing 1.43kg of carbon dioxide. R1234yf has a GWP of <1, which means releasing one gram of R1234yf into the atmosphere has the same global warming impact as <1 gram of carbon dioxide. This is a significant decrease in GWP when compared to R134a. PRESSURE TEMPERATURE
A pressure temperature chart can be used to help diagnose a potential leak and assist when recharging the system. Dependant on the ambient temperature of the day, a pressure temperature chart gives you an approximate indication of where your gauge pressures should be.
