30LB R134A R-134A Refrigerant Gas
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.
