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

Discover the pack combining a 170gr 12a Duracool can, the ideal substitute for R12 and R134a, with a charging hose specifically designed for cars equipped with R134a. The merger 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 that is free of the greenhouse effect and impact on the ozone layer. Its flammable nature makes it necessary to use the right equipment. Replacing 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 molecule size, it offers a saving of 30 to 40% on the full load of the circuit. Thus, a 170 gr can can substitute 484 gr of HFC-R134a, 513 gr of CFC-R12 and 340 gr 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® does not require any 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 refill hoses. These are specifically adapted to the 1/2 ACME thread of our cans.

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

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