Refrigerant R1234YF Pyrotechnical Characteristics

The vapor pressure curves of both refrigerant R1234yf and R134a are very similar across a large temperature range for this reason no differentiation of the two refrigerants is possible. Refer to REFRIGERANT VAPOR PRESSURE TABLE and A/C SYSTEM, GENERAL INFORMATION . Distinguishing is only possible by suitable sensors which can analyze the chemical characteristics of the refrigerant. Refer to REFRIGERANT R1234YF ANALYSIS .
With R1234yf, the A/C compressor is lubricated with special synthetic refrigerant oils, for example PAG oils (polyalkylene glycol oils) which are specified to the refrigerant R1234yf, the A/C compressor and the operating conditions of the specified additions (additives).
