Refrigerants

Refrigerants Refrigerant gases are the real workhorses of the refrigeration system. While many people believe the compressor does all the work, its function is only to re-circulate the refrigerant, as does a heart with blood. In that the refrigerant is passed through the system repeatedly, in effect it is re-used. The mechanical parts of the system allow it to vaporize and condense in a constant cycle. Simply passing a liquefied gas through a metering device and allowing it to pass to atmosphere can accomplish Refrigeration. Since this is costly to the consumer and to the environment, it is seldom done, the exception being nitrogen in transport refrigeration. Nitrogen is an inert gas that comprises approximately 80% of the air we breathe. Modern day refrigerants are the result of 100 years of evolution. They are chosen for their boiling points, inflammability, chemical stability and lack of toxicity. While some modern refrigerants are still flammable and toxic, they are rare and used only where no other substance can do the job for which they are required, for example attaining temperatures of 100 degrees or more below zero.
