Conversion of an R12 refrigerant circuit to an R134a refrigerant circuit and servicing (retrofit)
Conversion of an R12 refrigerant circuit to an R134a refrigerant circuit and servicing (retrofit)
  Note
t  For environmental reasons and on account of the corresponding legislation, refrigerant R12 can no longer be manufactured or supplied. Refrigerant R134a has been developed as a replacement for R12.
t  However, air conditioning systems developed and designed for refrigerant R12 cannot simply be charged with refrigerant R134a. To ensure trouble-free operation of the air conditioning system even after conversion, various components of the refrigerant circuit must be renewed.
t  A precise description of the conversion procedure and information on the servicing of converted refrigerant circuits can be found in → Workshop Manual: Air conditioner with refrigerant R12 Parts 2 and 3 (this Workshop Manual is only available in hardcopy form).
