Answer (2)

HFC-134a replaced CFC-12 in all mobile vehicle air conditioning systems due to environmental regulations aimed at reducing ozone depletion. While HFC-143a and HFC-123a are alternatives, they did not replace CFC-12 specifically in MVAC systems. HFC-134a is noted for its lower global warming potential compared to its predecessors. ;
