What Refrigerants Are in an Automotive AC System?

Refrigerant is a crucial component of automotive air conditioning systems. It is the substance that absorbs heat from the passenger compartment and releases it outside, cooling the air in the process. The most common refrigerant used in cars today is R-134a, which replaced the older and less environmentally friendly R-12. Proper maintenance of the refrigerant system is important for optimal performance and preventing leaks. Regular checks should be made to ensure there are no leaks or low levels of refrigerant in the system.

Is it possible to convert an older automotive AC system from R-12 to R-134a refrigerant?

Yes, it is possible to convert an older automotive AC system from R-12 to R-134a refrigerant. However, it requires flushing the system, replacing certain components, and recharging with the new refrigerant. It is best to consult a professional mechanic for a proper conversion.
