Mixing HFO-1234yf with 10–11% R-134A is in development to produce a hybrid gas under review by ASHRAE for classification as A2L which is described as "virtually non-flammable". These gases are under review with the names of R451A and R451B. These mixes have GWP of ~147.

"Impacts of the Degradation of 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene into Trifluoroacetic Acid from Its Application in Automobile Air Conditioners in China, the United States, and Europe". Environmental Science & Technology. 52 (5): 2819–2826. Bibcode: 2018EnST...52.2819W. doi: 10.1021/acs.est.7b05960. PMID 29381347. R-134a and 1234yf systems are very similar to each other. In fact this was one of the reasons that 1234yf was chosen as an alternative refrigerant. A few of the major differences can be read below:PMM: The new refrigerant is more climate-friendly. But what is R1234yf and how does it differ from R134a? The significant difference is due to R-1234yf being a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO), a molecule that has a very short-lived atmospheric life,” said Christina Spalding (below), account manager for The Chemours Company, which makes Opteon YF (R-1234yf) refrigerant. “Where hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) R-134a remains in the atmosphere an average of 12 years, R-1234yf’s atmospheric lifetime averages a mere 11 days.” These two companies know whats coming. There is a wave of demand that is going to hit and hit hard. The question you have to ask yourself folks is are you ready? Are your employees ready? Is your shop ready? If not today then tomorrow you may have a YF unit roll in. Are you going to know what to do? Are you going to be prepared? Important Links On a positive note, however, it presents a significant opportunity for those garages who have already upgraded or plan to do so shortly. Despite the new gas only coming into effect in January 2017, there are already millions of vehicles on the road using R1234yf. And this number is expanding rapidly.

To help mitigate this environmental risk, the new EU directive stated that all refrigerant will need to have a global warming potential of less than 150. Unfortunately, the R134 has a potential of 1430! This high figure equates to the R134 having 1,430 times more impact on global warming than carbon dioxide. 1234YF Gas – The Cost In 2017 the final law went into effect across the European Union and 1234YF was found in every new car that was manufactured or imported into the EU. The only exception that I know of is Daimler and their CO2 automobiles. While the European Union market was changing there was also change going on in the United States.The recovery and recycling procedures on 1234yf machines are basically identical to R-134a machines. The only differences that you will notice are: GM first to market greenhouse gas-friendly air conditioning refrigerant in U.S." GM Corporate Newsroom (Press release). 2010-07-23 .

Retrieved 31 July 2018. You may not be seeing very many cars come into your shop today with YF refrigerant, especially here in the United States. There is a reason for that. Yes, there a lot of cars on the road that are using this new refrigerant but these cars are so new that most of them are falling under warranty when something goes wrong. What we are seeing today, October 2017, is a lot of dealerships doing the YF repairs. If we wait a few more years, say 2019-2020 I predict that a lot of the aftermarket shops out there will begin to see the demand for YF repairs. It just takes time folks. Hopefully by then the cost would have gone down.

is classified by the ASHRAE as a 2L flammable gas. That means that 1234yf is rated as mildly flammable. Depending on who you are this could be a big deal or it couldn’t matter at all. There are two ways to look at this. Your car is already carrying gasoline in it and I can assure you that gas is far more flammable then 1234yf. On the other hand adding more flammable liquids to your car only increases your chance of fire during a collision. In 2017, European directive 2006/40/EC finally came into full effect. The eagerly anticipated legislation requires that all newly designed cars and LCVs fitted with A/C, and manufactured for use in the EU, must use a refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) of 150 or less. GWP measures how much energy a gas absorbs compared to the same quantity of CO2 over a 100-year period, so in simple terms, the higher the number, the bigger the environmental impact.

This training will go over specific requirements and techniques when servicing either 1234yf or R-744 mobile air conditioning systems. The easiest way to acquire this training is to retake your 609 certification exam through MACS Worldwide. They have updated their test to include YF material.R134a alternative is "virtually non-flammable" ". Cooling Post. 30 November 2014 . Retrieved 2017-06-09. There were many disputes from numerous companies and organizations from all over the world to this test and claim from Daimler that the new refrigerant was unsafe for use. For a time it seemed like German Automakers were going to fight HFOs tooth and nail. They had their hearts set on R-744 CO2. Over the years though there have been numerous court battles and fines issued by the European Union but still Germany persisted against 1234yf. In 2006 the European Union came out with a directive known as 2006/40/EC. This directive’s goal was to reduce the emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases from mobile air conditioning systems. This would be a gradual phase out across the European Union. The end goal was to have automobiles using refrigerants that had a Global Warming Potential, or GWP, number of one-hundred and fifty or less. The first major date of the phase out was 2008, then 2011, and then finally on January 1st 2017 any new vehicle using a refrigerant with a GWP higher then one-hundred and fifty would be banned from the European Union. The problem here was that there wasn’t a viable alternative to HFC refrigerants at the time this directive was made. I’m sure you’ve heard of the expression: Necessity is the mother of invention. In almost all hybrid and electric vehicles, the air conditioning system is also responsible for the Thermal Management of the battery to maintain maximum efficiency and prevent battery damage. The properties and regulatory fit of HFO-1234yf make it an ideal base molecule for electrified heavy-duty vehicles.”
