Re: [DML] R-12 -Vs- 134-a

Maybe that's why Grady considers upgrading the condenser an integral 
part of the R134 conversion. It's often been stated - "there are no 
drop-in conversions". Everything has issues, whether its the lower cooling capacity or potential maintenance issues. It is well known that R134 does not cool exactly the same as R12, uprating the condenser at the same time to overcome this would seem to make perfect sense. I're really glad that it's even available!
