TECH TIP
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
R-134A AND R-1234YF
R-1234yf is fairly similar to R-134a with a few
key differences. R-1234yf has a global warming
potential (GWP) 300 times lower than R-134a.
Unlike R-134a, the new R-1234yf is extremely
flammable with a flammability rating of F+. When spilled, R-1234yf
evaporates quickly which prevents product from entering drains, unlike
R-134a. If an average car leaks out the refrigerant one time to the
atmosphere, it equals 80 gallons of equivalent emissions. If you need
to clean up a spill, make sure you use low-sparking hand tools and
explosion-proof electrical equipment.
