color="#0000af">How efficient is color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe color="#0000af">?
color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
ES-12a is up to 32% more efficient than R-12 and
much more efficient than R-134a. This means less wear on your refrigeration
system, substantial energy savings and reduced operating costs. With color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
the compressor will only load approximately 2-3 hp. color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
ES-12a 's boiling temperature is -30.4ºF. color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
ES-12a was designed as an R-12 replacement in all
R-12 applications.

No! color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
is a direct drop-in R-134a replacement. It requires no retrofitting or
redesigning of the refrigeration system because it is completely compatible with
all the materials, hoses, O-rings, seals and oils (mineral or synthetic) in all
systems.
color="#000000" size="4">The savings can be enormous! If you have an automotive R-12 system you
must change the two vehicle fittings to the 134a type fittings and properly
remove any Freon®* in accordance with EPA procedures.
color="#000000" size="4">Changing the fittings can be
easily done by screwing on (over the existing R-12 fittings) 134a adapter
fittings. All you will need is the two 134a adapter fittings for the vehicle
year and make which should cost around $20.00.
You color="#af0000">DO
NOT need the $60 to $80 "134a Kit". Pep
Boys/Parts USA stores and Auto Zone carry 134a adapter fittings. In California
and Nevada, Auto Parts Club also carries 134a adapter fittings. Both Castrol and
Delco manufacture 134a adapter fittings.

is a zero ozone depleting "second generation" replacement for R-134a
and all other substitutes for Freon®* that are non-ozone depleting. EPA's Final
Rule, issued April 1, 1994, states:
color="#000000" size="4" >"In this final rule, the
Agency has determined that second generation replacements, if they are
non-ozone depleting and are replacing non-ozone depleting first generation
alternatives, are exempt from reporting requirements under Section 612"
If an automotive system is
"first generation" ( color="#af0000">i.e..- has 134a
fittings and contains no Freon® *) it may accept a
"second generation" refrigerant like color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe .
In a safety study, the prestigious Arthur D. Little
scientists concluded that color="#af0000">hydrocarbon refrigerants
pose no significant increased risk or hazard over Freon® *.
(copy of report available at cost of US$5.00) A $3,000,000.00 insurance policy

- If system is charged, check system for leaks or defective components.
Replace or repair as necessary. Determine that compressor has proper amount
of lubricant according to manufacturer's specifications.
color="#007f00">2
- If desired, pull a vacuum, and keep in mind that no more than 10 inches of
mercury (vacuum) is required. Unlike Freon®*, color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
does not become caustic if moisture is present. Also charging under a high vacuum
might result in an overcharge if you're charging from a canister. An overcharge
can cause loss of cooling
efficiency. color="#007f00">3
- Connect gauges and hoses. With compressor off, open cylinder valve or
invert can to install color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
on low pressure side of compressor (installing as a liquid will not harm the
compressor). Establish flow. After an initial minimum charge is achieved,
start compressor and set system to high. Continue adding color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
as needed to achieve either the proper amount as determined by the
equivalency ratio or the proper pressure level according to manufacturer's
specifications. color="#000000" size="4" >
DO NOT OVERCHARGE! Exceeding 60 psig on the low side may
damage compressor. In some cases, clearing the site glass overcharges the
unit. Any overcharge may cause loss of cooling efficiency.

- After verifying that the pressures and temperatures are correct, shut off
compressor, disconnect gauges, install service port caps and place the color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe

visible area.
color="#007f00">5
- If a system has been overcharged or has a leak and must be recharged,
completely evacuate the system using reclaiming equipment and start the
charging procedure over.
How do I detect a Leak?
To locate the precise origin of a
leak, it is recommended that a hydrocarbon detector be utilized. Most mid and
higher priced conventional leak detectors will detect hydrocarbon refrigerants.
In the alternative, either soap bubbles or color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe
Dye Charge can be used.
color="#007f00">Enviro-Safe Dye Charge is both visually detectable and
