Low-Cost FREON® Replacement FARM HOME Cars If your air conditioner has lost its charge or if you re looking for an alternative to the new more expensive FREON® replacements you might want to take a look at what s available from TCB Technologies a Canadian research company
    Their Red Tek 12a Refrigerant is an approved replacement for the old R12 and R12 substitutes and an economical replacement for the new R134a Red Tek 12a is an alkane refrigerant as opposed to CFC and HFC types that have been blamed for ozone depletion
    Red Tek 12a is compatible with the o-rings seals hoses and oils in both R12 and R134a systems Unlike R134a Red Tek 12a is non-toxic and non-corrosive
    And since it has larger molecules than the gases it replaces it is easier to pump through the system Because of this the air conditioner compressor will run cooler And it s less likely to leak from the air conditioning system as well says Gary Grenzke a TCB researcher
     Because the molecules are larger you also need less product to charge the system adds Mel Brown a Johnstown Colorado distributor who markets Red Tek 12a in the U S Six ounces of Red Tek 12a has the same cooling capacity as 18 oz of R12 or 16 oz of R134a
    Red Tek 12a is available in 6 oz cans which are the same size cans other refrigerants are sold in and also a 12 lb cylinder wihich is the equivalent of 36 lbs of R134a Cans sell for $7 95 Cylinders are $197 40
    As with any refrigerant you should follow all local and Federal regulations in handling Red Tek Brown has a tap and hose adapter kit for installing Red Tek 12a as well as the appropriate adapter fittings
