What is use of refrigerant gas in Air conditioner and in Refrigerator?

Question

Hi, Can you please explain to me the use of refrigerant gas in Air conditioners and in Refrigerators.

Answer 1

Refrigerants are the common name for the chemical blend that cycles through the AC, changing from liquid to a gas as it absorbs and release heat. 

Answer 2

^{Refrigerant gas is used in air conditioners and refrigerators to help control the temperature of the air inside the unit. The gas is also used to help keep food and drinks cold.}

Answer 3

Refrigerant gas absorbs the heat produced in the fridge leaving cool air behind using a thermodynamic process that continually turns the agent from a liquid into a gas and back again.

Answer 4

In air conditioners and refrigerators, refrigerant gas is used as a medium to transfer heat. The refrigerant gas is compressed and then passed through a series of coils. When the gas is compressed, it causes the temperature and pressure to increase, which in turn causes the gas to become hotter. This hot gas is then passed through the coils of the air conditioner or refrigerator, which causes the heat to be released from the coils and into the room or refrigerator. This process is known as the refrigeration cycle and is used to remove heat from the air or food inside the refrigerator. The gas is then decompressed, causing the temperature and pressure to decrease, and the gas to become cooler. The cool gas is then passed through the coils again, which causes the heat to be absorbed back into the gas. This cycle is repeated over and over again, allowing the air conditioner or refrigerator to maintain a consistent temperature.

Answer 5

Refrigerant gas is used in air conditioners to help keep the temperature inside the appliance stable. It is then used to cool the air flow into the refrigerating system.Refrigerant gas can also is used to prevent the ice from forming on the inside of the fridge and to prevent the refrigerating cycle from taking place.

Answer 6

The most common HFCs used in air conditioners is R-410A which is better than R-22 as it stops ozone depletion and is more energy-efficient. Two other HFCs that are commonly used are --- R-32 for air conditioners and R-134A for refrigerators
