1 Refrigerants and their Application Presented by Thomas E. Watson, P.E. Fellow ASHRAE McQuay International Staunton, Virginia USA 1 What is a Refrigerant? In a refrigerating system, the medium of heat transfer which picks up heat by evaporating at a low temperature and pressure, and gives up heat on condensing at a higher temperature & pressure. (Refrigerating fluid) fluid used for heat transfer in a refrigerating system which absorbs heat at a low temperature and low pressure of the fluid and transfers heat at a higher temperature and higher pressure of the fluid, usually involving changes of state of the fluid. Ref: ASHRAE Terminology of Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, & Refrigeration 2 1 1
