1234yf will work in its place but its not wide spread yet.

but im sure there is more gasses out there that will work in its place.


Also i think the manufacturing of virgin 134 has stopped and its all recycled gas and old stock. Plus i think new equipment installs (atleast in CA) cant be 134 units anymore

 

I think most new cars coming off the lots now a days are 1234yf.

 

There used to be a time when I wouldn't have known that info. I still don't, but Google did. Can't wait for neuralink and it's instant knowledge.

 

Morning

 

And we'll be able to mainline memes!

 

R1234YF (it's already in use since 2016 and it's garbage)

 

Need to make a "show me the real freon" meme

 

@Kwikvette

 

I'd have zero desire to use R22 or R12 anymore, R134a pretty good and has a super low risk to the environment. I'd like to see R12a (it's almost propane) in use rather than any of them because it has greater capacity for cooling than R12 or R134a and it's harmless. R1234YF doesn't have much info yet, only been in use for a little bit but I know that getting your hands on it is insane, I saw prices in the $600-$800 range for system refills (usually only a pound or two), vs R134 which is about ~$10 for a pound.

 

134a is actually kinda shitty for large applications but works just fine im small units

 

Yeah, compared to R12 its just shitty in general (why it required parallel flow condensers), but it works well enough for automotive systems.

 

Going mining today at work. Called my boss and said i can get a pickaxe on company money

 

Its works well enough in domestic refrigeration too.

but they are also fazing it out from that in favor of R600 which is a propane like refrigerant

 

My gf sent this to me and said "this is how I see you flirting with me or your friends lol"

 

Defrost line decide to nope out?

 

I think the coil is un level so when it defrost and just all flows to the side and not the center. Not sure yet. Cant really get to the coil with all that ice there

 

How'd you get that rare pic of @Abeyancer and I when we worked as handymen

 

I have my sources

 

One of our cats had to go to the vet yesterday with swollen/infected anal glands, let me tell you that does not smell good.

Apparently he's gotten too chonk to properly clean his own butthole with his tongue
