Notes On Handling Refrigerant R1234Yf - AH83.30-P-0003-02A

Model All 

The refrigerant is colorless and odorless.

At normal temperatures it is not toxic. The refrigerant is inflammable and combustible in certain mixing ratios with air.

The refrigerant may only be used in air conditioning systems for which it has been specifically approved.

The refrigerant must not be mixed with other refrigerants (e.g. R134a).

The refrigerant does not contain any chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). The refrigerant does not damage the earth's ozone layer. It has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 4.

Despite these benefits, the refrigerant may only be extracted by experts with suitable extraction, recycling and filling equipment that includes integral disposal and reprocessing capabilities. Contaminated refrigerant must not be extracted using the air conditioning service unit.

Special aids that must only be used for extracting the contaminated refrigerant from the A/C system must be used here.
