Properties of Various Refrigerants and Alternatives to R22 Refrigerants
Keywords:
Refrigerants, R22 refrigerant, HCFC, CFC.Abstract
This study is concerned with the properties of some common refrigerants and alternatives for R22 refrigerant which would be banned by 2020. Stability of CFC (Chlorofluorocarbons) and HCFC (Hydro-chlorofluorocarbons), their global warming potential and ozone depletion potential make them unsuitable for use. Refrigerants such as R410A, R134a, R407C and R407A are some proposed alternatives for R22 refrigerant. Their properties have been mentioned in this article.
