FAQs
1. Is R-134a still widely used?
Yes. It remains common in refrigeration and older automotive AC systems, though new cars are moving to R-1234yf.
2. Is R-134a flammable?
No. It is classified A1 — non-flammable and non-toxic.
3. What oil is compatible with R-134a?
Use POE oil for stationary refrigeration and PAG oil for automotive AC systems.
4. Can R-134a replace R-12 directly?
No. A proper retrofit is required including lubricant change and system flushing.
5. Can I use R-134a in R-600a systems?
No. This is unsafe and not compatible.
