How Long Does Car Refrigerant Typically Last?
1 Answers
Car refrigerant typically lasts 2-3 years. Overview of Car Refrigerant: Car refrigerant, also known as automotive refrigerant or commonly referred to as "Freon", is categorized into environmentally friendly R134a and non-environmentally friendly R12. Since R12 severely damages the atmospheric ozone layer and contributes to the greenhouse effect, it poses a threat to the environment on which human survival depends. Solution: When there is an excess of car refrigerant, it can be released directly into the atmosphere through the high-pressure pipe valve of the air conditioning system. However, if it is R12 refrigerant, direct release is not only environmentally unfriendly but also poses certain risks, so this method is not recommended.
