R-134a may be more ozonefriendly than R-12, but R-134a also has a downside—it’s a greenhouse gas and contributes to the threat of global warming. Although a replacement for R-134a is yet tobe chosen, your role as a service technician will continue to play a key part in environmental stewardship.  \nAuto makers began their transition from R-12 to R-134a with 1992 models. This transition was completed with the 1994 model year. For you, however, the future isn’t as cut-and-dried. EPA acceptance of alternative refrigerants other than R-134a,  \nthe ban on some refrigerants because of flammability concerns, illegal smuggling of R-12 into the U.S. from foreign countries, and the possibility of cross-contamination with other refrigerants—all require almost constant attention. (On that note, here are a few important historical benchmarks: The deadline for mandatory recovery of R-134a was November 15, 1995. After that date, venting of R-134a became illegal. Recycling of R-134a, using EPA-approved equipment, became mandatory on January  \n29, 1998.) As always, be sure to check state and local regulations as they may differ  \nCover: On October 1, 2005, the minimum ozone value was recorded at 102 Dobson Units. The average concentration of ozone in the atmosphere is about 300 Dobson Units; any area where the concentration drops below 220 Dobson Units is considered part of the ozone hole, shown here outlined in blue.  \nImage courtesy of NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Scientific Visualization Studio.  \nCopyright 2009, National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.  \nfrom federal requirements.  \nOn December 31, 2007, EPA formally adopted a new standard for refrigerant handling equipment. Known as J2788 from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), it supersedes standard J2210. The new standard includes upgraded performance requirements for refrigerant handling equipment. This doesn’t make older equipment obsolete, so you needn’t worry about already existing refrigerant handling equipment.  \nMake a commitment to yourself and your customers to stay informed on any news affecting the world of air conditioning service. You should also be aware that the EPA has a Stratospheric Ozone Protection Hotline that can be used to get answers to your questions and to request printed information. Best of all, it’s free. Just call 1-800-296-1996, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
