Refrigerants are substances which are used in refrigerators and they are generally gases. They are periodically compressed and allowed to expand adiabatically in order to bring the temperature lower and lower. This is how the temperature inside a refrigerator gets lower and lower. CFC (Chlorofluoro Carbon) and Methane (CH4) are such two compound refrigerants. Now a days due to environmental issues the practice of using these gases as refrigerants is discouraged. They are found to be potent global warming gases.

What is inorganic refrigerants?
Inorganic refrigerants are refrigerants that are not organic
What is a ternary blend refrigerants?
What is a near-zerotopic blend
What group of refrigerants is considered the safest?
HFC refrigerants
What is chlorofoam?
um i think you meant "What is chloroform". Because chlorofoam is not in my dictionary. anyway... chloroform is the organic compound with formula CHCI. The colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid is a trihalomethane, and is considered somewhat hazardous. Several million tons are produced annually as a precursor to Teflon and refrigerants, but its use for refrigerants is being phased out.
Why are refrigerants responsible for ozone layer depletion?
Refrigerants release CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Is freon gas flammable?
"Freon" is a trademark name of DuPont for a series of HFC and CFC refrigerants which they manufactured - other companies manufactured and continue to manufacture the same refrigerants, but cannot use the name Freon for their product. Some of the refrigerants marketed under the name Freon are flammable, and some are not. The CFC refrigerants will almost certainly be flammable - the HFC refrigerants may or may not be.
Which refrigerants have 0 odp?
Natural refrigerants - ammonia, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, water, air; HFC's
What are refrigerants that damage the ozone layer are called?
Many refrigerants cause damage to the ozone layer. These are CFC's.
Which classifications of refrigerant damage the ozone layer?
Refrigerants come in various types. The CFC's in refrigerants damage the ozone.
What do you mean by chlorofloucarbon?
A chlorofluorocarbon is a simple gaseous compound that contains carbon, chlorine, fluorine, and sometimes hydrogen. CFCs are used as refrigerants, cleaning solvents, and aerosol propellants, and in the manufacture of plastic foams.
