Potential Problems With HFC-134A

This Service Manual has been written to cover product manufactured with HFC-134a. HFC-134A compressors will be received with a synthetic based ester oil charge. The hygroscopic (water attraction) property of ester oil is many times greater than that of the mineral oils previously used with CFC-12. High system moisture causes the formation of acids and alcohol which can damage the compressor. Systems should not be left open for more than fifteen (15) minutes at any time as humidity from the air will enter system. To assure system dehydration, the system should be pulled down to 100 microns and vacuum pump oil (min- eral oil) must not be allowed to enter the system.

Cleanliness of the system will be extremely important. The presence of residues (chlorinated or greasy residues, mineral oil, or impurities) can lead to capillary tube restrictions, oil return problems and compressor damage. Flux must not be used on brazed joints.
