Refrigerant
Refrigerant Refrigerant is a substance used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to transfer heat from one location to another. Common types of refrigerants include: 1.Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs): Phased out due to environmental concerns. 2.Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs): Being phased out due to environmental concerns. 3.Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs): Widely used, but have high global warming potential. 4.Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs): Next-generation refrigerants with low global warming potential. 5.Natural Refrigerants: Carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, and ammonia. Refrigerant properties: 1.Boiling point: Temperature at which the refrigerant changes state from liquid to gas. 2.Condensing temperature: Temperature at which the refrigerant changes state from gas to liquid. 3.Pressure: Refrigerant operates at high and low pressures. 4.Thermodynamic properties: Affect system performance and efficiency. Factors affecting refrigerant performance: 1.L...
