Freon is the name of a refrigerant invented by Thomas Midgley in 1928. In 1930 General Motors and Dupont formed a company to produce Freon. The most common form of Freon R12 was used in automobile A/C units until it was banned in 1995. .

Why is freon cold?

Freon itself if not cold. Freon can be used to cool things by compressing the gas and then letting it expand.

Any gas can cool thing in the same way, but Freon does it particularly well. Unfortunately it is what is called a CFC, which destroys ozone in the atmosphere.

Why does freon come out of a jug liquid if you turn it upside down?

Freon under pressure, much like LP and butane are liquid. At sea level pressure, freon becomes a gas. For freon to work in a refrigeration system, it must be able to transform from liquid to gas to liquid. So, to fill a system, it must be put into that system in liquid form. To do this, the bottle containing freon must be tipped, otherwise only freon the gas would be expelled.
