What is R134A Refrigerant Gas?

R134a refrigerant, alias R134a, HFC134a, HFC-134a, tetrafluoethane, is a widely used medium and low temperature environmental protection refrigerant. It is a colorless, tasteless and non-toxic gas with low vapor pressure and high condensation temperature at room temperature and pressure. R134a belongs to hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which has no damage to the atmospheric ozone layer. It is an environmentally friendly refrigerant and is widely used as a substitute for CFC-12 (Freon 12).

How to Buy R134A Refrigerant Gas?  

When purchasing R134a refrigerant, you can refer to the following guide:

1.Confirm the required refrigerant specifications and packaging, common packaging is Disposable cylinder 250g, 300g, 350g, 450g, 750g, 13.6kg/30LB; Recoverable cylinder, 926L cylinder; ISO Tank.

2.Check safety data sheets (SDS) and quality certificates of products to ensure that the products meet safety and environmental standards.

Considering the transportation and storage conditions at the time of purchase, R134a refrigerant cylinders are pressurized containers, which should be stored away from fire, heat source and direct sunlight. They are usually stored in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse

3.For commercial use, consider buying in bulk for a better price.

Ensuring that the purchased R134a refrigerant is compatible with existing equipment, especially in the case of replacing old refrigerants, requires ensuring that the system components can be adapted to the characteristics of the new refrigerant.
