Refrigerants

• With the advancement of technology, the lifestyle
  of people has been changed enormously.
• This made a significant contribution to the use
  of a wide range of applications such as Washing
  machines, TV, Air Conditioners and much more.
• Air Conditioner is the innumerable application
  used almost everywhere.

Refrigerants

• Would you ever think of how the Air Conditioner
  blows cold Air? It's because of the refrigerant
  present in the AC.

Working of Refrigerants

• Refrigerants are fluids of gases that extract the
  room heat when it is incorporated with a
  compressor and evaporator and exhaust the heat.
• In the Refrigeration cycle, Refrigerant gas is
  moved to the compressor.
• It compresses the freezing gas and transforms it
  to high temperature, high-pressure gas which
  passes across the condenser coil.

Working of Refrigerants

• When it passes through the coil, the
  high-pressure gas reacts with the cool water and
  turns into liquid. In that time the heat expelled
  to the outside.
• The liquid then flows through the expansion valve
  in the refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat
  from the evaporator coil and gives coolness to
  the surroundings.
• Due to increased temperature, the refrigerant
  transformed back to gas.

Types of Refrigerants

• Refrigerants are categorized according to their
  properties and composition of a chemical. Major
  three types of refrigerants are
• Chlorofluorocarbons
• Hydrochlorofluorocarbons
• Hydrofluorocarbons

Types of Refrigerants

• The refrigerants used in earlier days are harmful
  to the people and the ozone layer.
• The advent of technology gives us refrigerant gas
  that is completely safe to use. The modern
  Freezing gas is designed to reduce the ozone
  depletion potential.
• The common Chiller gas used nowadays is R-134A,
  R-404A, R410A, and R-407C.

When to replace refrigerant

• When you consider your Air Conditioner is not
  performing well, then you can check the
  refrigerant gas.
• If you use refrigerant for the long term, then
  you can have problems like a refrigerant leak.
  Better you can check your refrigerant
  periodically.
• You can call the support if you find leaks in the
  refrigerant.
