| Air Conditioning System (if equipped) | |
|---|---|
| Air Conditioning | The air conditioning system on this machine contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant R134a or R1234yf (Europe). See label or instruction manual for gas refrigerant identification. If machine is provided with R134a (Global Warming Potential = 1430), the system contains 0.85 kg (1.87 lbs) of refrigerant, which has a CO2 equivalent of 1.216 metric tons (1.34 tons). If machine is provided with R1234yf (Global Warming Potential = 0.501), the system contains 0.85 kg (1.87 lbs) of refrigerant, which has a CO2 equivalent of 0.00043 metric tons (0.00047 tons). |
