"cfc free" is a term which refers to the disuse of a particular chemical compound called chloroflorocarbons. This chemical was commonlly used in many house hold items such as airconditioners, refridgerators, and other freon based items as well as a propelant in aresol cans until it was discovered in the 60's and 70's that cfc's would make their way into the atmosphere and eat away at the ozone layer for years on end.

∙ 15y agoYes. They are very useful as the compressed gas expands which cools its surroundings. It is less common now though due to CFC's producing chlorine radicals which depleat the ozone layer heavily via a chain reaction.

Which chemical used in refrigeration system for destruction of ozone layer?
Refrigeration systems use CFC. They deplete ozone.
What CFCs are the main cause of what?
CFC's used in refrigeration are main cause of ozone depletion. This refers to the destruction of ozone.
What is the importance of refrigeration and air conditioning in protecting the ozone layer?
Refrigerator and Air conditions contain CFC's. They don't help but are bad for ozone layer.
Which chemical uses in refrigeration and air-conditioning system is responsible for destruction of ozone layer in the atmosphere?
CFC is used in air conditioning systems. It causes ozone depletion.
The breakdown of the ozone layer is promoted by the emission into the atmosphere of?
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases used in refrigeration
Which chemical used in refrigeration system for destruction of ozone layer?
Refrigeration systems use CFC. They deplete ozone.
4 main sources of CFC global warming?
Refrigeration, Petsticides, spray cans
What CFCs are the main cause of what?
CFC's used in refrigeration are main cause of ozone depletion. This refers to the destruction of ozone.
Which atoms in the CFC molecule can destroy thousands of ozone molecules in upper atmosphere?
The CFC molecules are man made chemicals for refrigeration. The molecules on reaction release 2 gases. These gases are Chlorine and Fluorine.

What are advantage and disvantage of refrigeratio?
I'm guessing that's refrigeration. Pro: -Prolongs food life -Easy to use Con: -Food life not absolute -Power requirements Gases used in the refrigeration systems as with air con are cfc based and case environmental damage
The breakdown of the ozone layer is promoted by the emission into the atmosphere of?
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases used in refrigeration
Why does refrigeration produce cfcs?
Refrigerators do not produce CFC. Old equipment contains these materials as they were the refrigerant of choice before the Montreal Protocol. The old equipment lost the CFCs to the atmosphere due to leaks and gasket failure.
Do heating and cooling chillers use freon?
"Freon" is a trademark name of the the DuPont Corporation for a series of CFC and HFC refrigerants manufactured and marketed by them - thus, it's only actually Freon if it's manufactured by them and marketed by that name. They all use some form of refrigerant, but not all of them use CFC or HFC refrigerants. There are refrigeration units which use straight ammonia, for example.
What is the interaction of CFC and stratospheric ozone?
CFC and ozone interact often. Here CFC's deplete ozone.
What is role of CFC in refrigerator?
CFC is filled in the refrigerator and the process of compression , condensation and evaporation is because of CFC.....
