1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (also known as norflurane (), R-134a, Klea 134a, Freon 134a, Forane 134a, Genetron 134a, Green Gas, Florasol 134a, Suva 134a, HFA-134a, or HFC-134a) is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and haloalkane refrigerant with thermodynamic properties similar to R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) but with insignificant ozone depletion potential and a lower 100-year global warming ...
It is an isomer of the more-used 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). It is used as a foam expansion agent and heat transfer fluid. It is used as a foam expansion agent and heat transfer fluid. [ 3 ]
The table is sortable by each of the following refrigerant properties (scroll right or reduce magnification to view more properties): Type/prefix (see legends) ASHRAE number; IUPAC chemical name; molecular formula; CAS registry number / blend name; Atmospheric lifetime in years; Semi-empirical ozone depletion potential, ODP (normalized to be 1 ...
A representative pressure–volume diagram for a refrigeration cycle. Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles.
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) Index of chemical compounds with the same name This set index article lists chemical compounds articles associated with the same name.
The use of R-134a is being phased out because of its high global warming potential (GWP). HFO-1234ze(E) itself has zero ozone-depletion potential (ODP=0), a very low global warming potential (GWP < 1 ), even lower than CO 2, and it is classified by ANSI/ASHRAE [4] as class A2L refrigerant (lower flammability (see below) and lower toxicity). [5]
They are frequently used in air conditioning and as refrigerants; R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) is one of the most commonly used HFC refrigerants. In order to aid the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer, HFCs were adopted to replace the more potent chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were phased out from use by the Montreal Protocol ...
