Refrigerants : How they work in HVAC systems?

The refrigerant is a compound or mixture in liquid state which is used in the machine for moving heat from one location which has a low temperature to another location with higher temperature. It has many unique physical properties such as low freezing point, low condensing pressure, high evaporator pressure, high critical pressure, etc.

Moreover, it has few differentiated chemical properties as well, such as toxicity, oil solubility, low water solubility, reactivity, etc. Some of the examples of refrigeration substance are r-410a, r-404a, r-407c, etc. The refrigerant substances which are used subsequently in the applications are ammonia, sulfur dioxide, propane.

The global refrigerant market is growing at a significant pace owing to driving factors such as increasing demand for domestic air conditioner due rise in per-capita income. Moreover, increase of application for air conditioner in automobiles is likely to drive the demand for refrigerant in the coming years.

However, high regulation on fluorocarbon due to its harmful effect on ozone layer may hinder the growth of refrigerant market. Likewise, development and spread of awareness on energy efficient cooling sysytem may provide a lucrative opportunity for the market players in the near future.
