Pack 1 can Duracool 12a and a low pressure R134a refill hose

Discover the pack combining a can Duracool 12a of 170gr, ideal substitute for R12 and R134a, with a charging hose specifically designed for R134a. The fusion of these two products represents the perfect solution for all those looking for an ecological and economical alternative for recharging automotive refrigeration circuits.

Duracool 12a is a natural hydrocarbon-based refrigerant gas, free of greenhouse effect and impact on the ozone layer. Its flammable nature makes it necessary to use adequate equipment. Replacing the R12, R134a and 1234yf commonly used in car air conditioning, this gas is compatible with both mineral and synthetic air conditioning oils. Thanks to its larger molecules, it offers a saving of 30 to 40% on the full charge of the circuit. Thus, a can of 170 gr can substitute 484 gr of HFC-R134a, 513 gr of CFC-R12 and 340gr of HFO 1234yf.

The benefits of Duracool 12a don't stop there. It operates at lower pressures and provides up to 40% energy savings compared to CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs. In addition, unlike some refrigerants, the purchase and installation of the Duracool® do not require special approvals if the circuit is previously emptied of CFCs, HFCs or HCFCs. However, to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the can, it is imperative to use our DC4000 or DC402 charging hoses. These are specifically adapted to the 1/2 ACME thread of our cans.

The effectiveness of Duracool 12a is also evaluated through its GWP coefficient (Global Warming Potential) which is 3.0 to 3.15. For comparison, the GWP of R134a is 1430 and that of R12 is 10900. With legislation constantly evolving, favoring Duracool 12a is a wise and environmentally friendly choice.

Completing this pack, the charging hose for R134a is the essential tool to recharge your air conditioning with Duracool gas. Equipped with crimped brass fittings and a pressure gauge, it guarantees easy and safe use. Designed to work with Duracool cans, it comes with the R134a low-pressure connection, compatible with vehicles with both low and high pressure valves.
