The Abbott Government’s proposal to relax new vehicle importation laws and enable personal imports of new cars could accelerate the uptake of R1234yf in Australia if the legislation passes. On some production lines, only models destined for countries where low global warming potential refrigerants are either compulsory or receive fuel efficiency credits are fitted with … Continue reading New car import laws could accelerate R1234yf growth in Australia
But even mild flammability made industry acceptance a hard sell A leading engineer behind the development of new industry standard automotive refrigerant R1234yf concedes that flammability is its biggest drawback – but that apart from that it is close to being the perfect gas for car air conditioning systems. During an exclusive interview with SightGlass News at … Continue reading R1234yf ‘really close’ to perfect
Much of the global automotive industry has adopted R1234yf as the standard refrigerant in new cars, primarily due to tightening overseas legislation over the global warming effect of refrigerants released into the atmosphere. R1234yf has a far lower global warming potential than R134a, which has been the sole industry standard refrigerant in automotive air conditioning … Continue reading R1234yf Facts
