1234YF was introduced for use in automotive air conditioning systems around the year 2011. Since then, it has become a popular choice for new vehicles due to its environmental and safety benefits. In 2012, the European Union approved the use of 1234YF in car air conditioning systems, and it has been used in many new vehicle models since then.
1234YF is a type of refrigerant that is considered to be better than other refrigerants for several reasons:
- Environmentally Friendly: 1234YF has a much lower global warming potential (GWP) compared to older refrigerants, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
- Energy Efficiency: It has a higher refrigerating capacity, which allows for smaller and lighter components, resulting in more energy-efficient systems.
- Improved Safety: 1234YF is non-toxic and non-flammable, which makes it safer to use compared to older refrigerants that are flammable or toxic.
- Meets Regulations: The use of 1234YF is in line with international regulations, such as the EU F-Gas Regulation, which aims to reduce the impact of HFCs on the environment.
These benefits make 1234YF a better option compared to older refrigerants, and its use is becoming increasingly common in the automotive industry
