I heard a story about HC-12a / OZ-12, are they flammable refrigerants? And what is the full story? According to the EPA HC-12a and OZ-12 brand hydrocarbon refrigerant blends are flammable refrigerants.  Their primary components are hydrocarbons, which are flammable substances like propane and Can I legally use HC-12a / OZ-12 for use in R134a cars, or in industrial refrigeration applications? The EPA, while not having jurisdiction over the use of replacement refrigerant for R134a, does not allow the use of these refrigerants as replacement refrigerants for R134a. However, HC-12a and OZ-12 What happens when a hydrocarbon such as propane or butane is used in an A/C system? The performance of the A/C system is actually not hampered by the use of these gases, however, the safety of the user of the vehicle is. If there is a leak in any part of the A/C system or a front-end Do I need to do anything special to retrofit an old R12 system to a R134a system? Yes . According to EPA regulations, the use of any alternative refrigerant to replace R-12 requiresat a minimum that; Unique service fittings be used in order to minimize the risk of cross-cont What does R-22 do to a typical MVAC (mobile vehicle air conditioning) system?
