chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)
The substance commonly used as a cooling agent in refrigerators is called refrigerant. One commonly used refrigerant is R-134a, which is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) compound.
A pure compound refrigerant is a refrigerant composed of a single type of molecule without any mixture of different molecules. Two examples of pure compound refrigerants are R-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane) and R-410A (azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane).
Disposable refrigerant containers are only used for virgin refrigerant.
The compound with the formula CCl2F2 is called carbon tetrachloride. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor, mainly used in fire extinguishers and as a refrigerant.
Refrigerant are used in refrigerator for cooling and dehumidifying indoor air.
CF3CF3 refers to the chemical compound 1,1,1,2,2,2-Hexafluoroethane. It is a colorless gas that is used as a refrigerant and aerosol propellant due to its low toxicity and non-flammability.
Air conditioners produces coldness by topping of refrigerants. the refrigerant (commonly kown as FREON) is not a magic substance, it is not cold by itself. Refrigerant is a compound used in a heat cycle that undergoes a phase change from a gas, to a liquid and back.
Ammonia is commonly used as a household cleaner, and in industrial settings for its role in fertilizers and as a refrigerant. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, plastics, and explosives. Additionally, ammonia is used in wastewater treatment to remove contaminants.
134a refrigerant
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is cycled with the refrigerant.
Trichloroethane is a chemical compound used as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. It can also be used as a refrigerant and in the extraction of oils. However, it has been largely phased out due to its harmful effects on health and the environment.
