HFO-1234YF Market

In recent years, with the intensification of global climate warming and the advancement of environmental regulations, the fourth-generation refrigerant HFO-1234yf has gradually emerged. As a substitute for R134a, HFO-1234yf can not only be used in automobile air conditioners, but also widely used in refrigerator refrigeration, heat transfer media, foaming agents and other fields, demonstrating its broad application prospects.

HFO-1234yf, a refrigerant known for its low GWP (global warming potential) properties, is suitable for large stationary and commercial refrigeration equipment, such as automotive air conditioners and refrigerators. It belongs to the hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) class of refrigerants, providing a new choice for environmentally friendly refrigeration.

R134a is the most widely used automotive air-conditioning refrigerant. However, as environmental protection regulations become increasingly strict, starting from 2017, new models in Europe and the United States have gradually used HFO-1234yf refrigerant to replace R134a. Compared with HFC-134a, HFO-1234yf, as a single working fluid refrigerant, has excellent environmental parameters, with a GWP of only 4, an ODP of 0, and the climate performance during its life cycle is also lower than that of HFC-134a.
