    The document discusses different types of refrigerants used in vapor compression systems, including primary refrigerants like halocarbons, hydrocarbons, inorganic compounds, azeotropes, and expendable refrigerants. It also discusses secondary refrigerants that are used to transport heat energy between locations, like calcium chloride, sodium chloride, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol. The document describes different classifications of refrigerants based on their cooling method and safety, such as Class 1 refrigerants that cool through phase change and the National Refrigeration Safety Code groupings from safest to most flammable. Refrigerants are regulated due to their toxicity, flammability, and impact on

    Refrigerants
    A substance which produces a refrigerating effect by its absorption
    of heat while expanding or evaporating.

    Types of Refrigerants
    1. Primary Refrigerants – refrigerants used in vapor compression
    systems.
    2. Secondary Refrigerants – these are liquids used for transporting
    low-temperature heat energy from one location to another. It is
    also called anti-freezers or brines.
    Primary Refrigerants
    Types of Primary Refrigerants
    1. Halocarbons
    2. Hydrocarbons
    3. Inorganic Compounds
    4. Azeotropes
    5. Expendable Refrigerants
    Refrigerants: Halocarbons
    Halocarbon Refrigerants contains one or more of the three
    halogens – Chlorine, Fluorine, and Bromine.
    Refrigerants: Hydrocarbons
    Hydrocarbons are suitable refrigerants especially for service in the
    petroleum and petrochemical industry.
    Refrigerants: Inorganic Compounds
    Refrigerants: Azeotropes
    An azeotrope refrigerant is a mixture of two (2) refrigerants.
    Refrigerants: Expendable Refrigerants
    These refrigerants are used to cool a substance or an evaporator.
    After which, the refrigerant is then released into the atmosphere.
    Secondary Refrigerants
    These are liquids used for transporting low-temperature heat
    energy from one location to another. It is also called anti-freezers or
    brines.

    Commonly used Secondary Refrigerants:


    1. Calcium Chloride
    2. Sodium Chloride
    3. Ethylene Glycol
    4. Propylene Glycol
    Refrigerant Groupings & Classifications
    • Class 1 – This class includes refrigerants that cool by phase change
    (typically boiling), using the refrigerant's latent heat.
    • Class 2 – These refrigerants cool by temperature change or
    “sensible heat”, the quantity of heat being the specific heat capacity
    times the temperature change.
    • Class 3 – This group consists of solutions that contain absorbed
    vapors of liquefiable agents or refrigerating media.
    Refrigerant Groupings & Classifications
    NRSC – National Refrigeration Safety Code
    • Group 1 – safest of the refrigerants
    • Group 2 – toxic and somewhat flammable
    • Group 3 – flammable
    Refrigerant Groupings & Classifications
    NBFU – National Board of Fire Underwriters
    • Group 1 – most toxic
    • Group 2
    • Group 3
    • Group 4
    • Group 5
    • Group 6 – least toxic
    Refrigerants & Cylinder Colors
    Refrigerants
    Refrigerants are heavily regulated due to their toxicity,
    flammability and the contribution of CFC and HCFC refrigerants
    to ozone depletion and that of HFC refrigerants to climate change.
