Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Partial FC: Commercial A/C refrigerant

[Fellippe Galletta (fellippe.galletta]

I dunno.....he's a pretty sharp M.E. who knows this stuff better than most of us here, and would certainly know what R134a is and isn't....come on, lol. 

Man, the dissent on the List lately.......599 GTOs suck, Ford GTs suck.......only a matter of time before we hear some bashing of the Carrera GT. :)

And this article linked basically purports R134A to be as good or better than R12 (I more or less skimmed it), and we all know that ain't the case. Environmental considerations are why R12 is extinct as well as Halon 1301 for fire suppression (in buildings). 

Anyways, please enlighten me with more exciting F1 news while I tend to some boring NFL....

IMO your car guy does not know what he's talking about.  There is no such thing as "commercial" refrigerant so he's probably referring to R134a.  Here's a good read on converting from R12 to R134a - http://www.griffiths.com/achelp/achelp3.html

Erik's analogy of the 512BB air conditioning reminded me of something...

 

A car guy told me recently he uses commercial A/C refrigerant in his truck and the cold air it produces is insane. I asked him which one he uses and hasn't gotten back to me.

 

Is this something anyone would consider on the older cars? It's better than using R12.

 

Nobody should have to suffer from subpar A/C in a 30 year old car, and that statement alone should stand up in the court of law.
