Most Air Conditioner Coolant is a liquid marketed as freon. It is a Chlorofluorocarbon and boils when poured on to the hand. This cools the hand very quickly as it boils due to a change of state from liquid to gas. Newer versions were made to stop the ozone depletion in the stratosphere but HCFC's are powerful greenhouse gases. Many air conditioners in cars and builidings leak CFC's which is extremely worrying for the future of the planet.

Liquid Nitrogen and Liquid C02are other refrigerants
