Best Answer

The ideal refrigerant has good thermodynamic properties, is noncorrosive, and safe. The desired thermodynamic properties are a boiling point somewhat below the target temperature, a high heat of vaporization, a moderate density in liquid form, a relatively high density in gaseous form, and a high critical temperature. Since boiling point and gas density are affected by pressure, refrigerants may be made more suitable for a particular application by choice of operating pressure. Corrosion properties are a matter of materials compatibility with the components used for the compressor, piping, evaporator, and condenser. Safety considerations include toxicity and flammability.

Thermodynamics prop:

1: Low boiling point

2: Low freezing point

3: Critical temp of refrigerant should be high then the temp occurring with in the condenser.

4. latent heat should be desirable.

safe working property:

it includes:

>it should be chemically inert

>Should be non flammable, non toxic and non explosive.

>it should not react with lubricating oil

Physical property|:

1. should have low Specific volume

2. High thermal conductivity id required

3. Low specific heat of liquid refrigerant and high specific heat of vapour refrigerant are required.

Can freon lose its cooling properties over time?

No. You can loose volume and not cool as well, but as long as the amount of freon in a given system remains the same it will cool. The cooling properties come from the freon changing from liquid to gas and back again. It doesn't wear out.

Why is freon cold?

Freon itself if not cold. Freon can be used to cool things by compressing the gas and then letting it expand. When a gas expands, it cools down (for more information about that, look up the Ideal Gas Law). Freon is very effective for this purpose and because it is a gas with a high heat capacity. Any gas can cool thing in the same way, but Freon does it particularly well. Unfortunately it is what is called a CFC, which destroys ozone in the atmosphere.


What does freon look like?

Freon is a gas at room temperature and a liquid when cooled or compressed. Freon gas is colorless, non-flammable and relatively odorless. Some Freons have an ether-like odor.
