t hplain CFC-free refrigerant.

- A_ CFC-free refrigerant is a cooling substance used in systems like
air conditioners and refrigerator s that doesn't contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), harmful compounds that deplete the
~:~ne l?~er. These eco-friendly alternatives, such as HFCs or HFOs,
nu~igate environmenta l damage and reduce ozone depletion,
w e 8 ~111 providing effective cooling and heating solutions.

i. Explain de-frosting in refrigeration.

AB Defrosting in refrigeration is a pro~ess used to.remove accumulated
ice or frost from the evaporator coils of a coohng system, such as a
refrigerator or freezer. Frost buildup can ~educe efficiency and
cooling capacity. Defrosting involv~s temporarily stopping the cooling
cycle, allowing the accumulated ice to melt or evaporate, and then
resuming normal operation to maintain optimal cooling
