Recently counterfeit refrigerant has inundated the United States in substantial quantity. Corrupted R-134A refrigerant may cause substantial damage to reefers & chillers, can cause explosion and/ or even lead to death. Furthermore manufacturers have been found providing R-134A with >40PPM Halogenated Unsaturated Volatile Impurities thus negating the AHRI-700 composition requirement. All military specification refrigerant provided by Comp Cyl Serv has been verified to the AHRI-700 Specification for Fluorocarbon Refrigerants from an independent EPA-Certified Facility. Each cylinder includes the Certificate of Analysis indicating the prescribed product composition & integrity. Demand a Certificate of Analysis from your current supplier.

16009 DiscovR R134a Refrigerant Identifier. 1. WARNING : To prevent personal injury: • Allow only certified personnel to operate the Identifier. • Study ...The Identifier is not capable of direct detection and indication of the presence of hydrocarbon compounds. These compunds present a flammability hazard when present in sufficient concentrations. Whenever the identifier indicates unknown contaminants are present, the potential exists for a hydrocarbon flammability hazard.

Production of R-134a. Background. In the 1930's, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) were developed as a supposedly safe alternative to ammonia and sulfur dioxide ...refrigerants that are not ozone depleting substances. Some experts have suggested the use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC’s) for this use. Unfortunately, HCFC’s also have some ozone depleting potential, and are scheduled to be banned by 2030. With this in mind, one replacement for CFC’s in refrigeration is CF3CH2F (R-134a). R-134a is very attractive as a refrigerant because it has zero ozone depleting potential as well as a low direct global warming potential (GWP). One factor limiting the use of R-134a had been the fact that conventional lubricants are not miscible with R-134a.

Counterfeit R-134a, containing R-40 (Methyl Chloride or Chloromethane), has been found in mobile ... filled refrigerant cylinders marked as containing R-134a.For your personal safety and to avoid serious injury or death, special care must be taken when accessing the service ports to sample or work on systems that are not functioning properly or have been serviced by others. R-40 chemically reacts with aluminum inside HVACR systems to generate highly reactive and/or toxic compounds, and exposure of the system’s contents to air and/or moisture could result in production of a strong acid and violent chemical reaction. Several container systems have exploded at service facilities, some resulting in fatalities. Some of these systems were found to contain R-40 and/or other unacceptable substances.
