*Freon - refrigerant used for cooling. Mechanical refrigeration is based upon the alternate liquefying and evaporating of a volatile liquid with a low boiling point usually Freon 12 (Dichlorodiflouromethane) or Freon 11 (Trichloromonoflouromethane) during which processes it respectively gives off and takes in heat. The desirable properties of Freon are: a) high heat of vaporization; b) moderate pressure change for low to high temperature range; c) non-toxic; d) incombustible; e) non-explosive; and f) non-corrosive.
