Refrigerant R134a Environmental Information
Vehicle air conditioning systems make use of the
vaporization and condensation process. In this case, one works
with a substance which boils easily, designated as refrigerant.
The refrigerant employed is tetrafluoroethane R134a, which
bo ...
Welding and Soldering on Refrigeration Systems
Before performing welding or soldering work on vehicles near
the air conditioning system components, extract the refrigerant
and remove the residue by flushing with compressed air and
nitrogen.
The products of refrigerant decomposition d ...
