Q. An undesirable property of a refrigerant

A
High critical temperature
B
High boiling point
C
The latent heat of vaporization
D
Low specific heat of liquid
Solution:
  • A refrigerant is a working fluid used in the refrigeration cycle of air conditioning systems and heat pumps where in most cases they undergo a repeated phase transition from a liquid to a gas and back again.
  • It is very important that the refrigerant has a low boiling point, that is it should have the ability to turn into gas easily when it absorbs heat.
  • If it has a high boiling point, the compressor will have to create too much of a vacuum in order to lower the pressure to make vaporization happen.
