Recently, there was media exposure in the capital, and car air-conditioning refrigerants were doped with banned R12 refrigerant. At present, the sample inspection pass rate is less than 10%. In the market, various kinds of automotive air conditioner refrigerant products range from 15 yuan to 100 yuan. Due to the lack of professional tools, these refrigerants are difficult to distinguish between true and false. "The use of counterfeit refrigerants can be refrigerated in a short time, but if used for a long period of time, refrigerant leakage will occur, leading to poor cooling effect of automobile air-conditioners. Severe air-conditioning compressors will be strained, and owners will pay thousands or even A maintenance fee of 10,000 yuan," the staff member warned.

As the weather gets hotter, the frequency of use of automotive air conditioners is getting higher and higher. "The reason why car air conditioners can bring coolness is mainly because there is something called air conditioning refrigerant for automobiles. The so-called auto air conditioning refrigerant is what we usually refer to as freon, and is also called 'snow seed' or 'refrigerant' in the market. Under normal circumstances, adding a refrigerant can be used for 3 to 5 years, but when some cars have just added refrigerant, the cooling effect is still quite obvious, but in less than a month, air conditioning is not Cooling.” A staff member of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce told reporters that this is most likely a problem with air-conditioning refrigerants.

According to the requirements of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce, the city’s industrial and commercial department will focus on the supervision of auto parts in the current circulation field, and focus on the locations of auto parts markets and auto brand distribution service shops, and increase the use of automotive air-conditioning refrigerants. Packing, labeling, and product quality supervision and inspection efforts shall be conducted to investigate and deal with the illegal acts of selling counterfeit and substandard automotive air conditioning refrigerants. Strengthen cooperation with related departments, unblock communication channels, and provide clues for unqualified automotive air-conditioning refrigerants discovered during inspections, promptly notify the quality supervision department, form regulatory cooperation, effectively maintain the auto parts market order, and protect consumers’ legality. rights and interests.
