Freon in Air Conditioning System

What is Freon?

any of several simple fluorinated aliphatic organic

compounds that are used in commerce and industry.

It contains, hydrogen, chlorine, or bromine.

It is a type of chlorofluorocarbon and other related

components.
 Did you know that

Freon are colorless, odorless, non flammable, non

corrosive gases or low liquid of low toxicity.

it is a gas at room temperature and a liquid when

cooled or compressed
 Types of Freon

R22 or chlorodifluoromethane
-commonly used as propellant and refrigerant.

-this are phase-out due to the high global warming

potential.

-it is a versatile intermediate in industrial organ fluorine

chemistry as a precursor to tetrafluorothylene
 R410A

-does not contribute to 0-zone deputation.

-have a higher global warming potential.

(2088times the effect of carbon dioxide)

-mixed refrigerant.
 Air Conditioning

is the process of removing heat from confined space,

thus cooling the air, and removing humidity.
is used to achieve a more comfortable interior
environments, typically for humans or animals.
are also used to cool rooms filled with heat-producing
electronic devices.
can also be made based on desiccant.(chemicals
which remove moisture from the air.)
 Components of Air
conditioning unit
Condenser
Expansion valve
Evaporator
Accumulator or drier
Refrigerant
Charge port
Compressor clutch
refrigerant oil
hose assembly
 Three Main Components

Condenser
-it is actually a radiator in which the refrigerant condenses from
gas to a liquid form as it is cooled. Found at the outside part
Evaporator
-This is where the refrigerant evaporates from a liquid form
back into gaseous form. As the refrigerant evaporates it gets
very cold and allows the car interior to be cooled of.
Compressor
-Compresses the refrigerant from a low temperature, low
pressure gas to a high temperature, high pressure gas.
Refrigeration Cycle
 Potential Problem

The biggest problem that can occur in refrigerate is a

Leak.
 SHORT QUIZ

SHORT QUIZ
(TRUE OR FALSE)
1.Freon is colourless, odourless, non flammable, non corrosive gases or low liquid of low
toxicity.
2.Compressor compresses the refrigerant from a high temperature.
3.Change phases slowly.
4. The biggest problem that can occur in regards to a Freon is a Leak.
5-7. Enumerate the 3 Main Parts of Air Conditioner
(Identification)
8._____ it is actually a radiator in which the refrigerant condenses from gas to a liquid
form as it is cooled. Found at the outside part.
9. _____commonly used as propellant and refrigerant.
10._____ it is a gas at room temperature and a liquid when cooled or compressed. It also
contains, hydrogen, chlorine, or bromine.
