R134a Refrigerant

What is R134a Refrigerant?

R134a refrigerant, also known as 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) widely used for its safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness. As a leading supplier of refrigerants in the EU, we offer certified R134a in bulk, packaged in reusable steel cylinders, with ADR-compliant delivery across Europe.

R134a is commonly used in:

• Automotive air conditioning systems
• Commercial refrigeration
• Chillers and heat pumps
• Medical cooling systems

With its zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and high energy efficiency, R134a is a reliable choice for modern cooling needs.

Key Properties of R134a Refrigerant

Here’s why R134a stands out:

• Safety Class A1: Non-flammable and low toxicity, ensuring safe handling and usage.
• Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): 0 (does not harm the ozone layer).
• Global Warming Potential (GWP): 1300 (a greenhouse gas, but more eco-friendly than older alternatives).
• Specific Heat of Liquid at 30°C: 1.51 kJ/(kg°C) (excellent heat absorption for efficient cooling).
• Odor: Faint ethereal smell, making it easier to detect leaks.
• Compatibility: Works with centrifugal, rotary, screw, scroll, and reciprocating compressors.

Environmental Impact of R134a

While R134a is ozone-friendly, its high GWP makes it a contributor to climate change. Here’s what you need to know:

• No Ozone Depletion: Unlike CFCs and HCFCs, R134a contains no chlorine or bromine.
• Greenhouse Gas Awareness: Regular leak checks and responsible usage are essential to minimize environmental impact.
• Regulatory Compliance: R134a adheres to EU Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014, ensuring its use aligns with environmental standards.

Why Choose R134a Refrigerant?

1. Eco-Friendly: Zero ODP and no harmful chlorine or bromine.
2. Energy Efficient: Delivers superior cooling performance compared to older refrigerants like R12.
3. Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive AC to commercial refrigeration.
4. Safe: Non-flammable and low toxicity, making it ideal for various industries.
