Is HFC 134A the same as R134A?
R134A or HFC-134A became the accepted standard, because it has no potential of ozone depletion and has similar (but not equal to) cooling abilities to the R-12 and R-22 refrigerants. Computer air has fewer lubricants in it than the conventional R134A.
What refrigerant does Subaru use?
NOTE!
| Year | Model | Refrigerant |
|---|---|---|
| Type | ||
| 1999-2000 | All Engines | R134a |
| 1994-1998 | All Engines | R134a |
| 1992-1993 | All Engines – w/ Calsonic Compressor … | R12 |
Is R22 refrigerant still available?
The U.S. government has placed restrictions on R22 and has issued the requirement that R22 refrigerant must be eliminated from use in cooling systems by the year 2020. At this point, R22 will no longer be manufactured and cannot be used as a refrigerant in new air conditioning systems.
What does HFC-134a stand for?
SUMMARY. Hydrofluorocarbon-134a or 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) has been developed as a replacement for fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons because, compared with chlorofluorocarbons, its residence time in the atmosphere is shorter and its ozone depleting potential is insignificant.
Can you add refrigerant to a Subaru Outback?
Most refrigerants include a leak sealer that will seal small leaks in addition to filling the R134a refrigerant. The A/C system in your Outback consists of a compressor that is belt-driven, an evaporator and freon. If there is a problem with your compressor or evaporator, adding freon will not restore cooling.
What to do about a 2000 Subaru Outback air conditioner leak?
When the air conditioner in your 2000 Subaru Outback starts blowing hot air, you likely have a freon leak. Recharging the freon in your AC system is an inexpensive and easy first step to restoring the cooling capacity of your A/C system. Most refrigerants include a leak sealer that will seal small leaks in addition to filling the R134a refrigerant.
Why is my 2000 Subaru Outback blowing hot air?
Video Description When the air conditioner in your 2000 Subaru Outback starts blowing hot air, you likely have a freon leak. Recharging the freon in your AC system is an inexpensive and easy first step to restoring the cooling capacity of your A/C system.
