Commonly used refrigerants for car air conditioning include: Freon-12, R134A, and natural refrigerants. Below are the specific details: 1. Freon-12 (Code: R12): This is a medium-pressure, medium-temperature refrigerant widely used in small and medium-sized refrigeration systems in China. 2. R134A: It is extensively used for initial installation in new refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and for refilling during maintenance. Currently, it is the most widely used medium-to-low temperature environmentally friendly refrigerant. 3. Natural Refrigerants: Due to the ozone layer depletion caused by the widespread use of CFCs and HCFCs in refrigeration and air conditioning, the global industry faces significant challenges.
