Blended refrigerants are mixtures of two or more refrigerant compounds, designed to optimize performance and minimize environmental impact. They often combine the properties of different refrigerants to achieve desired characteristics, such as improved efficiency, lower global warming potential (GWP), and better thermodynamic properties. Commonly used in various cooling applications, blended refrigerants can be either azeotropic (maintaining a constant composition during phase change) or non-azeotropic (changing composition during phase change). Proper handling and charging practices are essential, as the different components can separate if not managed correctly.

There are different types of refrigerant oils. Refrigerants such as R22 and R12 usually use mineral oil. But some of blended refrigerants like R410A can sometimes use a poly oil. These oils can not be blended together. So a system that already has a refrigerant with mineral oil must be charged with refrigerants with the same oil.

Inorganic refrigerants are refrigerants that do not contain carbon atoms in their molecular structure. Common examples include ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). These refrigerants are often used in industrial applications and have varying environmental impacts.
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.
Two or more refrigerants blended together to create another refrigerant are known as refrigerant blends. These blends are formulated to optimize performance characteristics such as efficiency, stability, and environmental impact. Common examples include R-410A, a blend of R-32 and R-125, and R-407C, which consists of R-134a, R-125, and R-32. Blending can help achieve desired thermodynamic properties while also addressing issues like ozone depletion and global warming potential.
Refrigerants release CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
