Servicing vehicles equipped with R1234yf refrigerant requires careful consideration of specific requirements.
Firstly, the use of dedicated oils and UV additives is crucial. R1234yf systems require specialised oils specifically designed for their compatibility. These oils, along with UV additives, should be stored in moisture-free conditions. WAECO offers a bottle system for convenient and safe storage of these fluids.
Secondly, mixing refrigerants is strictly prohibited. R134a and R1234yf systems have different components and safety features. Using the wrong refrigerant can damage the system and pose safety risks.
Finally, it is essential to use service equipment specifically designed for R1234yf. These units often incorporate safety features such as ventilated couplers to prevent refrigerant leaks. Regular refrigerant analysis is recommended to ensure system integrity.
By adhering to these guidelines, technicians can ensure the safe and effective servicing of vehicles equipped with R1234yf refrigerant.
