`
`Alan McAvoy of Chrysler advises MACS attendees that R-1234yf refrigerant performs comparably to R-134a

`
`The new R-1234yf refrigerant has barely made a dent
`in the U.S. passenger vehicle fleet, but any doubts
`about the seriousness of U.S. carmakers to move
`forward with the new refrigerant were erased during
`a presentation at the Mobile Air Conditioning Society
`(MACS) Training Event and Trade Show when a
`Chrysler official gave an update on the company’s
`plans. The MACS Training Event and Trade Show was
`held at the Sheraton New Orleans.
`
`Alan McAvoy, technical advisor for Chrysler’s Midwest
`Business Center, presented the results of the
`company’s experience with R-1234yf and its plans to use it in more vehicles. McAvoy presented some
`performance results with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, its first vehicle to use the new refrigerant. He noted that
`R-1234yf’s global warming potential (GWP) is well below the EPA-required 150 GWP.
`
`McAvoy stated at the outset that one reason carmakers are moving forward with the new refrigerant is that
`it provides Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) credits that carmakers are required to have in the
`interest of improving fuel economy. “We’re going to grab all those credits the government is going to give
`us (by using R-1234yf)” he said.
`
`Service procedures for R-1234yf do not differ much from the established R-134a refrigerant, McAvoy said.
`“The majority of the hardware is the same,” he said. “Our (new) service procedures will be identical.” Some
`differences in vehicles equipped with R-1234yf include new fittings, new RRR machines, new refrigerant
`identifiers and new leak detectors, McAvoy said.
`
`The service ports were changed per SAE International requirements so that the R-1234yf systems will have
`their own unique high and low side service ports that will not interchange with R134a or other A/C fittings
`to prevent accidental cross contamination with any other refrigerant except R-1234yf, McAvoy said.
`
`R-1234yf requires PAG ND-12 compressor oil, he said. He noted that it is “backward compatible” with some
`R-134a systems.
`
`He warned his listeners not to use R-134a PAG oil in R-1234yf equipped vehicles since it lacks an acid
`reducer required for R-1234yf systems.
`
`He claimed that the new refrigerant’s performance and efficiency is comparable to R-134a.
`
`McAvoy reviewed the HVAC controls, housing and control module in the 2014 Jeep Cherokee.
`
`While the new refrigerant is more expensive, in time, the cost will decrease as R-1234yf becomes more
`widely used.
