Honeywell R134A Refrigerant Genetron R134a

Description: Honeywell R-134a, also known as Genetron® 134a, is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant widely used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. With the chemical formula C₂H₂F₄, R-134a is a non-ozone-depleting alternative to older refrigerants such as R-12. It is valued for its efficient cooling performance and low environmental impact compared to many traditional refrigerants.

Key Features:

• Chemical Formula: C₂H₂F₄
• Boiling Point: -26.3°C (-15.3°F) at atmospheric pressure
• Critical Temperature: 101.1°C (214.0°F)
• Global Warming Potential (GWP): 1,430
• Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): 0 (R-134a does not deplete the ozone layer)
• Appearance: Colorless, odorless gas at room temperature

Advantages:

• Environmental Impact: R-134a has no ozone depletion potential (ODP), making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to older refrigerants.
• Performance: Offers effective cooling and heat transfer capabilities, suitable for a range of applications from automotive air conditioning to domestic refrigerators.

Applications:

• Air Conditioning: Commonly used in automotive and residential air conditioning systems.
• Refrigeration: Applied in household refrigerators and commercial refrigeration systems.
