air conditioner retrofit to 134?

[1956olds]

I have a marine aire system 16,000 btu with keypad.The system powersup and runs but dosnt get cold or hot,i can hear it switching over and the pump and compressor are running so i belive it has low refrigerant,R-12 of course.Can these be retrofit to r-134 with the same kit as an automobile?I have the guages and such for R-134 just wondered if it has been done on these units successfully.Glen

Ok good idea,i will look to see if i took a picture of the tag.Is R 22 available still?

 

[1956olds]

Yep r-22,that means i will have to pay someone dosnt it.

Looks like i can buy a retrofit r22a kit with all the necessaries to retrofit and charge the system for 73 bucks.

You might want to check with an HVAC guy, but I don't think this will work. The oils used in the two refrigerants are incompatible. There would be some equipment changes necessary (possibly), and you'll lose cooling capacity changing to a different refrigerant.
