The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide a service procedure for retrofitting a CFC-12 (R-12) system to HFC-134a (R-134a) while preserving performance and integrity of the air-conditioning (A/C) system. The steps outlined in this procedure are complete when combined with good service practices and the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations (if available) for retrofitting their models. Separate service equipment, for CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a), including refrigerant recovery/ recycle (R/R), service manifolds, vacuum pumps, and charging equipment shall be used to preserve the purity of the refrigerants and the mobile A/C systems. This procedure will minimize release of refrigerant to the atmosphere, and will preserve the integrity of the recycled CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a) supplies. This document applies to A/C systems used to cool the passenger compartment of automobiles, light trucks, and other vehicles with similar CFC-12 (R-12) systems.

The purpose of this SAE Standard is to provide equipment specifications for CFC-12 (R-12) recycling equipment. This information applies to equipment used to service automobiles, light trucks, and other vehicles with similar CFC-12 (R-12) air-conditioning (A/C) systems. Systems used on mobile vehicles for refrigerating cargo that have hermetically sealed systems are not covered in this document. The equipment in this document is intended for use with refrigerant that has been directly removed from, and intended to be returned to, a mobile A/C system. Should other revisions due to operational or technical requirements occur, this document may be amended.

During service of mobile air-conditioning (A/C) systems, containment of the refrigerant is important. This procedure provides service guidelines for technicians when repairing vehicles and operating equipment defined in SAE J1990.

The purpose of this SAE Standard is to provide equipment specifications for CFC-12 (R-12) recovery for return to a refrigerant reclamation facility that will process it to the appropriate ARI Standard (Air Conditioning and Refrigerant Institute) or allow for recycling of the recovered refrigerant in equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J1991. Under the existing rule, the U.S. EPA requires refrigerant removed from a mobile air-conditioning (A/C) system using recovery equipment certified to meet SAE J2209 can only be recycled using equipment meeting SAE J1991 that is owned by the same company or individual. It is not acceptable that the refrigerant removed from a mobile A/C system, with this equipment, be directly returned to a mobile A/C system. This information applies to equipment used to service automobiles, light trucks, and other vehicles with similar CFC-12 (R-12) systems.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes the specific measures required to meet SAE established criteria when retrofitting CFC-12 (R-12) mobile air-conditioning (A/C) systems to HFC-134a (R-134a), with regards to fittings and labeling. This document is complete only when combined with the requirements of SAE J1657.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide criteria for determining the acceptability of candidate retrofit refrigerants to replace CFC-12 (R-12) in mobile A/C systems originally designed to use CFC-12 (R-12).

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to the use of generally available electronic leak detection methods to service motor vehicle passenger compartment air conditioning systems.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to the use of generally available leak detection methods to service motor vehicle passenger compartment air conditioning systems.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to the use, by automotive service technicians, of generally available leak detection methods to service motor vehicle passenger compartment air conditioning systems.

The purpose of this SAE Standard is to provide equipment specifications for the recovery of HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant to be returned to a refrigerant reclamation facility that will process it to the appropriate ARI 700 Standard or allow for recycling of the recovered refrigerant to SAE J2210 specifications by using Design Certified equipment of the same ownership. It is not acceptable that the refrigerant removed from a mobile air-conditioning (A/C) system, with this equipment be directly returned to a mobile A/C system. This information applies to equipment used to service automobiles, light trucks, and other vehicles with similar HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.

This standard covers equipment used to remove contaminated R-134a and/or R-1234yf refrigerant from Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) systems.

This SAE Standard covers equipment used to remove contaminated R-134a and/or R-1234yf refrigerant from mobile air conditioning (MAC) systems.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish the specific minimum equipment requirements for recycling HFC-134a that has been directly removed from, and is intended for reuse in, mobile air-conditioning (A/C) systems.

The purpose of this SAE Standard is to establish the specific minimum equipment requirements for recycling HFC-134a (R-134a) that has been directly removed from, and is intended for reuse in, mobile air-conditioning (A/C) systems.

This Standard provides an overview of results and requirements needed to remove refrigerant from a mobile air conditioning system for determining refrigerant emissions (leakage).This reclaim procedure for use on fleet vehicles in a field service environment should produce an accuracy and repeatability sufficient to determine refrigerant loss within 2 g.

This SAE Standard covers fittings intended for connecting service hoses, per SAE J2196, from Mobile Air-Conditioning Systems to service equipment such as manifold gauges, vacuum pumps and air conditioning charging, recovery and recycling equipment. (Figure 1)

This SAE Standard covers reinforced rubber, reinforced thermoplastic, or otherwise constructed hose, or hose assemblies, intended for conducting liquid and gaseous refrigerants for service connections from mobile air conditioning systems to service equipment such as a manifold gauge set and vacuum pumps or for use internally, in charging stations or service equipment intended for use in servicing mobile air-conditioning systems.

Refrigerant containment is an important part of servicing mobile air-conditioning (A/C) systems. This procedure provides guidelines for technicians for servicing mobile A/C systems and operating refrigerant recycling equipment designed for HFC-134a (R-134a) (described in SAE J2210).
