The answer is that some of that cold air comes from the refrigerant in your car&#8217;s air conditioning system.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a car owner, this article helps you learn about the three commonly used automotive refrigerants and which one your car needs. If you are a professional technician in a repair shop, it also explains why refrigerant recovery and refill equipment matters.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<nav class=\"ag-guide-strip\" aria-label=\"Article quick navigation\">\n      <a class=\"ag-guide-card\" href=\"#refrigerant-safety-45466\"><br \/>\n        <span class=\"ag-guide-card__num\">01<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ag-guide-card__title\">Warm Tips<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ag-guide-card__text\">Review recovery, refilling, environmental rules, and global warming concerns.<\/p>\n<p>      <\/a><br \/>\n      <a class=\"ag-guide-card\" href=\"#common-refrigerants-45466\"><br \/>\n        <span class=\"ag-guide-card__num\">02<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ag-guide-card__title\">Four Refrigerants<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ag-guide-card__text\">Compare R12, R22, R134a, and R1234yf across generations.<\/p>\n<p>      <\/a><br \/>\n      <a class=\"ag-guide-card\" href=\"#r1234yf-r134a-45466\"><br \/>\n        <span class=\"ag-guide-card__num\">03<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ag-guide-card__title\">R1234yf Topic<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ag-guide-card__text\">Review adoption, compatibility, and the warning not to mix refrigerants.<\/p>\n<p>      <\/a><br \/>\n      <a class=\"ag-guide-card\" href=\"#refrigerant-equipment-45466\"><br \/>\n        <span class=\"ag-guide-card__num\">04<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ag-guide-card__title\">Equipment<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ag-guide-card__text\">See why refrigerant recovery refillers such as LM707 and LM708 are mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>      <\/a><br \/>\n    <\/nav>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ag-content-layout\">\n<div class=\"ag-content-main\">\n<section class=\"ag-block\" id=\"refrigerant-safety-45466\" aria-labelledby=\"refrigerant-safety-title-45466\">\n<div class=\"ag-section-header\">\n          <span class=\"ag-section-kicker\">Guide 01<\/span><br \/>\n          <span class=\"ag-section-line\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<article class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p class=\"ag-eyebrow\">Safety and environmental reminder<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ag-heading\" id=\"refrigerant-safety-title-45466\">Warm Tips Before Handling Automotive Refrigerant<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ag-editorial-list\">\n<li>Automotive refrigerant is a volatile chemical requiring professional refrigerant recovery.<\/li>\n<li>Automotive refrigerant refilling equipment is used to maintain the car&#8217;s air conditioning system so that old refrigerant can be quickly recycled and new refrigerant can be refilled.<\/li>\n<li>Environmental protection laws in many countries make it illegal to vent refrigerants.<\/li>\n<li>This chemical has been found to destroy the ozone layer and contribute to global warming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ag-block\" id=\"common-refrigerants-45466\" aria-labelledby=\"common-refrigerants-title-45466\">\n<div class=\"ag-section-header\">\n          <span class=\"ag-section-kicker\">Guide 02<\/span><br \/>\n          <span class=\"ag-section-line\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<article class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p class=\"ag-eyebrow\">Refrigerant generations<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ag-heading\" id=\"common-refrigerants-title-45466\">Four Common Automotive Refrigerants<\/h2>\n<p>The original article organizes automotive refrigerants by generation, starting with older refrigerants that damage the ozone layer and moving toward newer refrigerants used in modern vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"ag-option-grid\">\n<article class=\"ag-option-card\">\n<h3 class=\"ag-option-card__title\">Generation I: R12 &#8211; Currently Banned<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p>R12 automotive refrigerant is a chlorofluorocarbon that contains chlorine, which makes it very damaging to the atmospheric ozone layer. R12 was widely used for many years because it was effective and inexpensive. In 1994, the U.S. banned R12 in all new cars, and R12 is now banned worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"ag-option-card\">\n<h3 class=\"ag-option-card__title\">Generation II: R22 &#8211; Currently Being Phased Out<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p>R22 automotive refrigerant is a second-generation refrigerant that also causes damage to the ozone layer in the atmosphere. It has a high greenhouse effect value, and this type of refrigerant is now rarely used as an automotive refrigerant.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"ag-option-card\">\n<h3 class=\"ag-option-card__title\">Generation III: R134a &#8211; Likely Used in Many Car AC Systems<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p>With the development of the times, demand for automobiles increased and environmental protection policies around the world improved. Almost every car produced since 1994 is equipped with R134a refrigerant, which allows air conditioning systems to blow cool air on hot summer days.<\/p>\n<p>R134a does not damage the ozone layer of the atmosphere, but it has a high greenhouse effect value. By today&#8217;s standards, R134a is not exactly friendly to the environment because it can end up in the atmosphere and take a long time to break down. As a result, all new cars sold in the U.S. after 2021 will no longer be able to use this refrigerant.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"ag-option-card\">\n<h3 class=\"ag-option-card__title\">Fourth Generation: R1234yf &#8211; Hot Topic<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p>By the end of 2022, nearly 200 million vehicles using R1234yf had been sold. This includes between 171 and 180 million units in the U.S. and Europe alone, plus additional sales in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The original article states that more than 100 million vehicles in Europe and more than 80 million in the United States use R134yf refrigerant, and that it is now easy to upgrade a car&#8217;s air conditioning system from R134a to R1234yf compatibility.
