The 24 pages that link to Refrigerant, each with the reason it gives.

• Cold chainRelated: Refrigerants enable cooling, while leakage and climate effects shape equipment choices.

• RefrigerationRelated: Its phase changes carry heat through the refrigeration cycle.

• Heat pumpRelated: Its changing state lets the heat pump absorb heat at one coil and release it at another.

• Air conditioningRelated: Its evaporation and condensation carry heat through the system.

• Vapor-compression refrigerationRelated: Its phase changes carry heat between the evaporator and condenser.

• ButaneRelated: Isobutane is used as refrigerant R-600a in domestic refrigerators.

• RefrigeratorRelated: Its phase changes carry heat from the refrigerator cabinet to the surrounding room.

• Heating, ventilation, and air conditioningRelated: Refrigerant leakage can affect climate and ozone protection, depending on its chemistry.

• Refrigeration cycleRelated: Its properties determine the temperatures and pressures at which the cycle operates.

• EvaporatorRelated: It absorbs heat in the evaporator and leaves primarily as vapor.

• Ozone-depleting substanceRelated: Refrigeration demand drove extensive use of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons and their substitutes.

• Absorption refrigeratorNarrower topic: The refrigerator relies on refrigerant evaporation and condensation to move heat.

• PentaneNarrower topic: Pentane’s evaporation can provide cooling in specialized refrigeration systems.

• Carbon tetrachlorideNarrower topic: CCl₄ served as a feedstock for chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants.

• ChloromethaneNarrower topic: Chloromethane’s volatility once made it useful in refrigeration systems.

• IsobutaneRelated: Isobutane serves as refrigerant R-600a in domestic refrigerators.

• DichlorodifluoromethaneNarrower topic: CFC-12 served as the working fluid in many refrigeration systems.

• IsopentaneRelated: Isopentane can serve as a hydrocarbon working fluid in specialized refrigeration cycles.

• HalocarbonRelated: Many halocarbons have served as refrigerants because their physical properties suit vapor-compression systems.

• TrichlorofluoromethaneNarrower topic: CFC-11 was widely used as a low-pressure refrigerant in large cooling equipment.

• 1,1,1,2-TetrafluoroethaneNarrower topic: R-134a is a refrigerant whose phase changes carry heat through a cooling system.

• ChlorodifluoromethaneNarrower topic: HCFC-22 cools by circulating through a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle.

• Heat pump and refrigeration cycleRelated: Its phase changes let the cycle carry heat between regions at different temperatures.

• Willis CarrierRelated: The cooling systems Carrier helped popularize depend on refrigerants, whose emissions raise climate concerns.
