The new refrigerant, R1234yf

By now, most have heard of the new refrigerant coming to North America, probably in 2011, R1234yf. I expect that we will see it in very limited release in 2011, then a complete rollout in 2012. Many are wondering, will their tools work with R1234yf?

Probably, but it is hard to tell. I am sure that all of the major leak detection and a/c tool companies are working hard to make sure their products will work with the new refrigerant. We will keep you posted with what we find.

If you want to learn more about R1234yf, here is a good article I just read:
