Types of refrigerants. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) These are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon. They were developed in the 1930's and were used in a variety of industrial, commercial, household and automotive applications.
Refrigerant R134a or HFC-134a was developed to meet these needs. Refrigerant R134a or HFC-134a is a commercially available hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant for use as a long-term replacement for R-12 in new equipment and for retrofitting medium temperature CFC-12 systems.
