AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS R744 CO2

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS R744 CO2

In our workshop you can recharge refrigerant to all air-conditioning systems applied by MERCEDES BENZ.

We have the most modern recharge stations, approved by MERCEDES-BENZ and many years of experience in the maintenance and repair of your car's air conditioning!

MERCEDES BENZ takes the lead by introducing the R744 CO2 air conditioning system in premium models in 2017:

  • S-CLASS W222 2016
  • S-CLASS C217    2016
  • E-CLASS W213

with Thermotronic code581. Next comes AUDI with the AUDI8 and VOLKSWAGEN's range of electric cars.

Since the beginning of 2017, the European Union has banned the production of cars using R134a refrigerant for environmental reasons. Its replacement is HFO-1234yf, which is 350 times less harmful than R134a, its lifetime in the atmosphere does not exceed 11 days, has a global warming index GWP of only 4 - compared to 1430 of R134a - and is compatible (with some modifications) with air conditioners using R134a.

Unfortunately, 1234yf is flammable and highly toxic when burned. The solution to this problem is provided by the R744 A/C system that uses CO2 (CARBON DIOXIDE) as a refrigerant, which is a natural product, non-flammable,non-toxic to the environment and a global warming index of GWP 1.
