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.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide equipment specifications for CFC-12 (R-12) recovery for return to a refrigerant reclamation facility that will process it to ARI standard 700-88 as a minimum (Air Conditioning and Refrigerant Institute). It is not acceptable that the refrigerant removed from a mobile air-conditioning system, with this equipment, be directly returned to a mobile air-conditioning system. This information applies to equipment used to service automobiles, light trucks, and other vehicles with similar R-12 systems.

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 Standard applies to fluorescent refrigerant leak detection dye injection equipment for use in ultraviolet leak detection when servicing mobile air-conditioning systems.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to refrigerant blends (multicomponent refrigerants) intended for use as retrofit refrigerants to replace CFC-12 (R12) in mobile air conditioning systems. Since the composition of non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures changes as refrigerant is lost, either through the vapor phase or the liquid phase, the method of charging air conditioning systems is important. The purpose of this document is to determine the proper refrigerant phase, liquid or vapor, for system charging by relating system performance changes to the charging method. This document is complete only when combined with the requirements of SAE J1657.

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 hose and hose assemblies intended for conducting liquid and gaseous R134a refrigerant in automotive air-conditioning systems. The hose shall be designed to minimize permeation of R134a refrigerant, contamination of the system, and to be functional over a temperature range of –30 to 125 °C. Specific construction details are to be agreed upon between user and supplier. A hose marked “J2064” signifies that it has been coupled, tested, and has met the requirements of SAE J2064. It is the hose assembly manufacturer’s responsibility to see that the assemblies meet the specified acceptance criteria for this specification.

Current industry standards do not exist for determining refrigerant emissions from mobile air conditioning systems. Test procedures are not common between production component suppliers in establishing leakage values. This “System Leakage Chart” has been developed from industry experience of expected refrigerant leakage gains from system design resulting from technology changes. It provides a rating value of various technologies that are currently available. The “Leakage Chart” can be expanded as new technologies are offered and/or developed. This document provides the information to develop an Excel file template “Leakage Chart” for making system analysis. It is not the intent of this Standard to define the refrigerant emissions from a mobile air conditioning system. It is to only define a system rating based upon the technology used.

The original SAE J2727 “Leakage Chart” provided a rating system for comparing mobile A/C systems and was not intended to define mobile A/C system refrigerant leakage. It had been developed from industry experience of expected system refrigerant leakage based upon currently available technologies. The new “System Emissions Chart” now contained in this revision is intended to serve as a means of estimating the annual refrigerant emissions rate (grams per year) from new production A/C systems equipped with specified component technologies. It provides emission values for various component technologies that are currently available, and can be expanded as new technologies are commercialized. This document provides the information to develop an Excel file template “System Emissions Chart” for system emission analysis. The new chart includes automotive compressor technologies, for conventional mobile air conditioning systems as well as fully hermetic compressors.

This document provides the information to develop an Excel file template “System Emissions Chart” for system emission analysis. The chart includes automotive compressor technologies for conventional mobile air conditioning systems as well as those using semi-hermetic compressors. This standard can be considered a companion document to SAE J2763 Test Procedure for Determining Refrigerant Emissions from Mobile Air Conditioning Systems. SAE J2727 estimates system emissions, taking into account production assembly variation and accounts for components that are 100% helium leak tested prior to vehicle final assembly.
