    Most of the R-12 systems I have seen were commercial refrigeration systems. We have some old equipment in the shop that was designed for R-12 and never installed. Like 1940s and 50s vintage.

    That unit doesn't use the "X-13" motor, it may be an XR-13 model heat pump, but that heat pump uses a single speed condenser fan motor. So that isn't an issue. It is always best practice to replace...
