Can Duracool 12A - 170gr , replaces the R12 and R134a

TheDuracool 12a is a natural refrigerant gas, with no greenhouse effect or effect on the ozone layer, based on hydrocarbons, therefore flammable.

   Duracool 12a ideally replaces the r12, r134a and 1234yf gases that can be found in the refrigeration circuits of automobiles. Duracool 12a is indeed compatible with both air conditioning oils (mineral and synthetic).

In addition, Duracool 12a has molecules larger than the original gases, and thus saves 30 to 40% of gas on the full load of the refrigeration circuit. Each can of 170 gr is equivalent to:

• 484 gr of HFC-R134a
• 513 gr of CFC-R12
• 340gr of HFO 1234yf

 Refrigerant gases Duracool work at lower pressures and allow energy savings of up to 40% compared to CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs.

NO WARRANTY WILL BE APPLIED TO THIS CAN IF IT IS NOT USED WITH OUR DC4000 AND / OR DC402 REFILL HOSES (there are many refill hoses on the market but which are not compatible with our cans and damage the thread of these). Our cans have a 1/2 ACME thread

 Duracool 12a BENEFIT: Refrigerants DURACOOL® do not require approvals to be purchased, or installed in an empty CFC, HFC or HCFC circuit.

GWP coefficient ( Global Warming Potential) of duracool 12a: 3.0 to 3.15.

For information, here is the GWP of some refrigerants that duracool 12a replaces:

•  R134a: 1430
•  R12: 10900

Now, here is briefly what the law says: a fluid with a GWP > 1500 can be used until 2025, and from 2030 a refrigerant must have a GWP less than 150

The hydrocarbons used for the design of duracool 12a in the mixtures are of pharmaceutical grade purity, verified by a certified analysis at each loading.

The duracool 12a is therefore very clearly a refrigerant gas of the future as a substitute for R12 and R134a

Although Duracool 12a is miscible with R12, R134a and 1234yf, it is forbidden to mix these freons with each other

Any intervention on a circuit still containing fluorine : CFC, HFC or HCFC requires the intervener to comply with the laws in force (Decree of 4 July 2009), namely to have the freon recovered beforehand by a duly authorized professional.

Namely: this gas is allowed in France but is not approved by car manufacturers, and can make you lose the manufacturer's warranty of your vehicle in case of load in Duracool 12a
