Applications
Honeywell Genetron® R134a refrigerant is intended for equipment specifically designed or approved for R134a. Typical applications include:
- Automotive air-conditioning systems designed for R134a
- Commercial refrigeration systems
- Medium-temperature refrigeration equipment
- Small hermetic refrigeration systems
- Compatible chillers and stationary cooling systems
- Professional HVAC and refrigeration servicing
R134a should not be treated as a universal drop-in replacement for another refrigerant. The equipment nameplate, refrigerant designation, lubricant requirement and manufacturer instructions should be checked before servicing.
Safety and Handling
R134a is stored as a liquefied gas under pressure. Protect the cylinder from excessive heat, direct sunlight, physical damage and improper handling. Store it in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.
Liquid refrigerant can cause cold burns or frostbite. A substantial vapour release may displace oxygen, particularly in low or enclosed spaces. Charging, recovery and handling should be performed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician using suitable equipment and personal protective equipment.
Do not puncture, burn or expose the cylinder to excessive heat. Refrigerant recovery and disposal must follow applicable local requirements and the current product safety data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Honeywell Genetron R134a refrigerant used for?
Honeywell Genetron R134a is used in compatible automotive air-conditioning, commercial refrigeration, medium-temperature refrigeration and stationary cooling systems designed for R134a.
What is the net weight of this Honeywell R134a cylinder?
This product contains 13.6kg, equivalent to approximately 30 lb, of R134a refrigerant.
Is Honeywell Genetron R134a flammable?
R134a has an ASHRAE A1 safety classification and is classified as non-flammable under the applicable standard test conditions. It remains a liquefied gas under pressure and must be handled according to the current safety data sheet.
Does R134a have ozone depletion potential?
R134a has zero ozone depletion potential. However, it has a published global warming potential, so refrigerant recovery, handling and disposal should follow applicable environmental requirements.
Which lubricant is used with R134a?
POE lubricant is commonly specified for stationary R134a refrigeration applications, while particular automotive systems may specify PAG lubricant. Always use the lubricant approved by the equipment or compressor manufacturer.
Can R134a be used in every air-conditioning system?
No. R134a should only be used in equipment designed or specifically approved for R134a. It must not be treated as a universal replacement for another refrigerant.
