Benefits of R134a refrigerant.
- Energy saving: The refrigerant has high cooling efficiency, thus saving energy.
- Environmentally friendly: The refrigerant has a low GWP (Gross Pollution Power) and does not harm the ozone layer.
- Safe: The refrigerant is non-flammable and non-toxic, therefore posing no health risks.
- Long lifespan: The refrigerant has low acidity, so it does not corrode systems and helps extend their lifespan, thus reducing long-term costs.
Storage and precautions.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes, as it may cause frostbite. Inhaling large amounts may cause irregular heartbeat and unconsciousness.
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and at a temperature not exceeding 49°C. Keep away from sources of ignition.
- If the refrigerant leaks in an air conditioning or refrigeration system, it should only be repaired by a qualified technician.
