R-1234YF (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) is a single-component HFO refrigerant designed to replace R-134a in mobile air-conditioning and selected stationary applications while delivering near-zero climate impact.
Key properties
• Ultra-low GWP ≈ 4 (IPCC AR6) and zero ODP
• Boiling point –29 °C; operating pressures almost identical to R-134a
• Mildly flammable (ASHRAE A2L); ignition-proof tools recommended
• Net 10 lb / 20 lb disposable cylinders common (cylinder + packaging ≈ 15–26 lb)
Applications
• OEM standard in all new EU passenger cars since 2017; rapidly adopted in North America and Asia
• Retrofit of R-134a MAC systems with OEM-approved procedures
• Emerging use in domestic heat-pump water heaters, small chillers and beverage coolers
Regulatory
• EU MAC Directive mandates GWP < 150 for new vehicles
• SNAP-approved for certain stationary uses; no reclaim requirement under U.S. regulations
Environmental outlook
• Short atmospheric lifetime (~11 days); negligible contribution to global warming
• Expected to coexist with R-744 (CO₂) and R-290 (propane) in next-generation low-GWP portfolios
Service notes
• Compatible with PAG (automotive) or POE (stationary) lubricants
• Use dedicated A2L recovery machines and leak detectors; avoid sources of ignition
The cylinder(s) may come in grey or other colors.
