The cautionary statements presented in this SAE Information Report are to be included in all current and future SAE standards involving service practices (J2211) and service equipment (J2210) for HFC-134a refrigerant.

The cautionary statements presented in this SAE Information Report are to be included in all current and future SAE Standards involving service practices (J2211) and service equipment (J2210) for HFC-134a refrigerant. It is also intended that these cautionary statements (or equivalent language) be recommended for inclusion in all publications dealing with the servicing of HFC-134a mobile 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 SAE Standard applies to refrigerant identification equipment to be used for identifying refrigerant when servicing a mobile air-conditioning system or for identifying refrigerant in a container to be used to charge a mobile air-conditioning system.

This SAE Standard applies to refrigerant identification equipment to be used for identifying refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant when servicing a mobile A/C system or for identifying refrigerant in a container to be used to charge a mobile A/C system. Identification or other refrigerants are the option of the equipment manufacturer.

To provide a procedure to inspect a refrigerant cylinder used in equipment servicing mobile air-conditioning systems. This includes the pressure cylinder used for refrigerant recovery/recycling and charging equipment.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide criteria for determining the compatibility of air-conditioning (A/C) system materials/components with candidate retrofit refrigerants intended to replace CFC-12 (R12) in mobile A/C systems originally designed to use CFC-12 (R-12).

This SAE Standard applies to the application of ultraviolet leak detection to service mobile air-conditioning systems.

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 scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish uniform test procedures for passenger cars, to determine whether the system is defined as a defroster or defogger, and to establish minimum performance requirements for each system. A defroster for purposes of this practice is a system which will remove moisture and/or frost from the interior surface of the backlight at −18 °C. A defogger is a system which will remove moisture and/or fog from the interior surface of the backlight at 4 °C. The test procedure is intended to simulate actual conditions by utilizing either a cold room with an appropriate device to introduce air flow over the backlight or a sufficiently large wind tunnel with ambient temperature control. The test procedure and the minimum performance requirements are based on currently available engineering data.

The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish uniform test procedures for passenger cars, to determine whether the system is defined as a defroster or defogger, and to establish minimum performance requirements for each system. A defroster for purposes of this practice is a system which will remove moisture and/or frost from the interior surface of the backlight at 0°F (−18°C). A defogger is a system which will remove moisture and/or fog from the interior surface of the backlight at 40°F (4°C). The test procedure is intended to simulate actual conditions by utilizing either a cold room with an appropriate device to introduce air flow over the backlight or a sufficiently large wind tunnel with ambient temperature control. The test procedure and the minimum performance requirements are based on currently available engineering data.

The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish uniform test procedures and minimum performance requirements for sedan passenger car backlight defogging systems. It is limited to tests that can be conducted on uniform test equipment in commercially available laboratory facilities. The test procedures and minimum performance requirements, outlined in this recommended practice, are based on currently available engineering data. It is the intent that all portions of the recommended practice will be periodically reviewed and revised as additional knowledge regarding defogging performance is developed.

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.
