Freezers typically use refrigerants such as R-134a or R-600a (isobutane). R-134a has been a common choice due to its efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants like R-12. However, R-600a is gaining popularity as a more eco-friendly alternative. It's important to check the specifications of your freezer to determine the appropriate refrigerant type.
Freon is a trade name. Most use Puron now.
A freezer from 1970 and for many years after requires R134 type freon.
No, the ice that forms in a freezer does not contain freon. Freon is a refrigerant gas used in cooling systems like air conditioners and refrigerators, but it is not present in the ice itself. The ice is simply water that has condensed and frozen due to the low temperature inside the freezer.
