Genetron® 134a, is a single component HFC refrigerant that
replaced CFC-12 in many applications, but is now an industry standard in many
chiller and refrigeration systems. Refrigerant R-134a holds an A1 ASHRAE safety
classification, and is EPA SNAP accepted for replacing R-12 in most
applications. Genetron®134a is UL listed and can be used to replace
CFC-12 in existing HVAC systems, or to service R-134a systems.
Generally, there will be few equipment design changes necessary to optimize the
performance of Genetron 134a in these applications.
