![]() REFRIGERANT      |
There are no new procedures to learn! The same gauges are used, and refrigeration systems are charged in the same manner used with the refrigerant being replaced. Maxi-Frig is completely compatible with the synthetic oil used with HFC-134a and the organic oils in CFC-12 systems. No flushing or oil changes are required. |
Does Maxi-Frig
Offer Other Benefits? Maxi-Frig refrigerants are better conductors of heat, require less energy to compress, have lower operating temperatures increasing compressor life. Maxi-Frig refrigerants operate at normal low head pressures, advantageously paralleling R12, while with other new refrigerants the head pressure is generally noticeably higher. Maxi-Frig refrigerants are more soluble, absorbing oil better resulting in better lubrication than other refrigerants. Maxi-Frig refrigerants produce negligible copper plating and coke formation on valves, and extremely low chemical breakdown.
In this final rule, the Agency has determined that second-generation replacements, if they are non-ozone depleting and are replacing non-ozone depleting first generation alternatives, are exempt from reporting requirements under section 612.
