30LB R134A R-134A Freon Refrigerant Gas

Description

R-134A, chemically known as 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, has become a widely used refrigerant in automotive air conditioning systems and commercial refrigeration since the global phaseout of ozone-depleting substances. Its excellent thermodynamic properties and environmental safety compared to legacy refrigerants like R12 make it a go-to solution for a variety of cooling applications.

Key Features and Benefits:

✅ Ozone-friendly performance: R-134A contains no chlorine and has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), making it an environmentally safer option that complies with international environmental standards.

✅ Wide usage compatibility: Commonly used in automotive A/C systems, commercial refrigeration units, and other medium-temperature applications. Ideal for both original equipment and retrofit projects.

✅ Thermally efficient: Offers stable performance with good cooling efficiency and moderate operating pressures, reducing stress on system components.

✅ Non-flammable and safe: Classified as A1 by ASHRAE, R-134A is non-flammable and low toxicity, making it a safe and reliable choice for technicians and users alike.

Main Applications

Automotive Air Conditioning Systems
Widely used in passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses as a replacement for R12.

Commercial and Domestic Refrigeration
Ideal for medium-temperature refrigeration such as beverage coolers, display cases, vending machines, and ice makers.

Heat Pumps and Dehumidifiers
Works effectively in appliances that require moderate-temperature cooling and heating.

Note on Environmental Regulations

While R-134A is ozone-friendly, its GWP is relatively high. Regulations in some regions are gradually restricting its use in certain new equipment. However, it remains a reliable and legal option for servicing and maintaining existing systems. Always follow regional and national guidelines when handling refrigerants.
