Refrigerant R134a Physical Data
Vehicle air conditioning systems make use of the
vaporization and condensation process. In this case, one works
with a substance which boils easily, designated as refrigerant.
The refrigerant used is tetrafluoroethane R134a, which boils
at -26.5 ºC (-15.7 ºF) at
High pressure side are the condenser, receiver/dryer and
restrictor or expansion valve to separate the high and low
pressure liquid ends.
High pressure results from the restrictor or expansion valve
forming a constriction and causing the refrigerant to
accumulate, thus leading to an increase in
