Re: [DML] R-12 -Vs- 134-a

[srubano@xxxx]

Hi all,

There was a previous post that posted a few weeks back concerning 
this. A larger condenser along with an "auto-adjusting" orifice tube 
will make the R134a just as cold as R12...there may be a very small 
degree difference between the two. The reason being that people are 
unhappy with the R134a conversion is that it is done improperly. If 
you just "drop" the R134a into the R12 system then you will have 
unsatisfactory results. Unfortunately the manufactures of the R134a 
retro-fit kit do not state this on the kit. They just recommend 
changing the seals, evacuating the A/C of all the R12 and R12 oil and 
charge it up. If you upgrade the condenser to allow the R134a to cool 
faster along with the auto-adjusting orifice tube...you will have a 
kick ass A/C system.
