Question

what does a refrigerant do in refrigerator

Answer 1

The compressor constricts the refrigerant vapor, raising its pressure, and pushes it into the coils on the outside of the refrigerator. 2. When the hot gas in the coils meets the cooler air temperature of the kitchen, it becomes a liquid. ... The refrigerant absorbs the heat inside the fridge, cooling down the air.

A special gas called the refrigerant is used in the vapour compression cycle of a refrigerator. It used to be CFC (chlorofluorocarbon). But due to environmental concerns with CFC, namely, the depletion of ozone layer, the gas used nowadays is HFC-134a, also called tetrafluoroethane.

Hi..

refrigerators usually use a refrigerant called HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane), which does not deplete the ozone layer, instead of Freon.
