Why use Duracool 12a gas?

GasDuracool 12 a is well known to professionals in refrigeration and air conditioning, but also to some professionals in automotive mechanics. It is a refrigerant gas whose advantages are well established. But what benefits are we talking about exactly? Under what circumstances should Duracool 12 a gas be used and what about its performance?

The peculiarities of gas Duracool 12 a?

As you will have understood, the Duracool 12 a is a gas. More specifically, it is a refrigerant gas used in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector. But if it caught our attention today, it is because this gas has some interesting peculiarities, including its ecological side that we will see right away.

It is important to note that the gas Duracool 12a is designed based on hydrocarbons. It is a gas based on propane and isobutane. On the other hand, it is a natural fluid that does not pollute. According to the research carried out, Duracool 12a has virtually no impact on the ozone layer, and therefore completely harmless to the environment. That is why we are talking about ecological gas.

The use of gas Duracool 12 a therefore makes it possible to fight against global warming and this is what explains its growing success with professionals. Its integration into society is done in an eco-responsible approach and, unlike other refrigerant gases (refrigerants), this product is over-the-counter.

Now that we know its main advantage, it's time to move on to its use. Under what circumstances should Duracool 12a gas be used?

When to use Duracool 12a gas?

As we have already seen, gas Duracool 12a is a refrigerant gas or refrigerant. Thus, it is used in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector.

What you need to know is that there are three types of gas Duracool : Duracool 22a, Duracool 1234yf and Duracool 12a. Duracool 22a gas is intended to replace R-22 gases whose equipment operating with these gases has been prohibited for sale and use in Europe since 2015.

But what interests us today is the gas Duracool 12 a. This gas is intended to replace R-12 and R134a, which are still widespread in French homes and throughout Europe.

Today, many pieces of equipment still work with these two gases. These include the different types of refrigerators available on the market, but also freezers, cold rooms and air conditioning equipment. R134a is even used in car air conditioners.

Gas Duracool 12a is used to replace gases in appliances operating with R134a and R-12. This is the reason why this gas is well known to refrigeration and air conditioning professionals as well as some mechanical professionals offering the repair of car air conditioners.

Why use Duracool 12a gas?

We have already partially answered this question a little earlier. The interest of moving to Duracool 12 a is first of all for ecological reasons. Since Duracool 12a does not impact the ozone layer, it is quite normal to favor it to contribute to the protection of the environment.

Duracool 12a is also considered an economical alternative. Although the price of the Duracool 12a is higher than that of the R134a for example, the Duracool 12a is available in small quantities and requires 40% less product for equivalent performance.

Finally, still in terms of safety, it should be noted that Duracool 12a (flammable gas) consists entirely of natural organic elements and does not represent any risk to health, which is not the case of R134a and R-12.

What about its performance?

In terms of performance, the Duracool 12a offers a much higher cooling quality than R-22, R-12 or R134a. In addition, its consistency saves 35 to 45% of gas on the full load of the refrigeration circuit. So that's where the economy comes in.

To conclude

the Duracool 12 is a gas that can be described as ecological  and it is not corrosive, which allows it to offer the best performance without any harmful effect on the air conditioning systems of cars.
