Answer:

The depletion of ozone layer and green house effects are worldwide problem. Refrigerants also part of these as it is source of depletion of ozone layer. As we using these ecofriendly refrigerants then harm to ozone reduces. These are best option for recently running refrigerants. Eco-friendly refrigerant like hydroflurocarbons and hydrocarbons are replacing chlorofluorocarbons application.CFC is the most important member of CFC refrigerants. This paper, gives alternate to refrigerants that are causes ill effect on environment. Their performance with respect respect to recently used refrigerant compared. by these comparison benefit of ecofriendly refrigerants discussed.For refrigerants, the performance need means the chemical must be able to cycle easily between being a liquid and a gas. When a liquid evaporates or a gas expands the process absorbs heat. We can take advantage of this property by creating a cyclic system using a motor to compress the refrigerant and then allowing it to expand. With the use of a heat exchanger, this chilling effect allows us to have air conditioners and refrigerators to cool what we want.

Over time, companies that use refrigerants have made choices on which ones to use based on their needs at the time. Ammonia, methyl chloride, and sulfur dioxide worked well but are reactive molecules that can be toxic to people if they leak out of the refrigerant system. Propane is not really toxic, but it’s flammable. So each of those early refrigerants had a risk associated with their use.
