Refrigerant Fluids | R 134a
The refrigerant R 134a is an HFC with a not relevant ODP potential. It can be used both pure as well as with blends. It is considered as one of the principle replacement products for CFC and HCFC refrigerants. It can be used at medium and high temperatures. For its energy efficiency and refrigerating capacity, the refrigerant R 134a is considered as a possible alternative to the refrigerant R 12 in a wide range of applications.
