Examples of refrigerant in the following topics:
-
- Refrigeration (4ºC) and freezing (-20ºC or less) are commonly used in the food, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industry.
- Refrigeration preserves food by slowing down the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and the action of enzymes which cause food to rot.
- Refrigeration is also used to facilitate the preservation of liquid medicines or other substances used for research where microbial growth is undesirable, often combined with added preservatives.
- For longer periods of preservation, freezing temperatures are preferred to refrigeration.
- This ship executed the first completely successful refrigerated shipment of food.
-
- Heat pumps, air conditioners, and refrigerators utilize heat transfer from cold to hot.
- A working fluid such as a non-CFC refrigerant is used in a basic heat pump.
- Air conditioners and refrigerators are designed to cool something down in a warm environment.
- What is considered the benefit in a heat pump is considered waste heat in a refrigerator.
- We thus define the coefficient of performance (COPref) of an air conditioner or refrigerator to be
-
- An everyday example of ferromagnetism is a refrigerator magnet used to hold notes on a refrigerator door.
-
- For example, food that's been in the refrigerator overnight is in thermal equilibrium with the air in the refrigerator: heat no longer flows from one source (the food) to the other source (the air) or back.
-
- For example, a fuel cell can be reduced to fit inside a portable music player – or be increased to the size of a refrigerator to power a house, office or apartment.
-
- Products that take advantage of current or fleeting trends (‘Industrial design is a field that was specifically invented to convince people that the washing machine, the car, or the refrigerator they had was out of fashion,' says Walter Stahel, ‘and fashion is something that can't be remanufactured.').
-
- In another example, the owners of a restaurant must make important decisions regarding the location, layout, and seating capacity of the restaurant, the hiring, training, and scheduling of chefs and servers, the suppliers of fresh food at the right prices, and the purchase of stoves, refrigerators, and other food preparation equipment.
-
- Motors are used to drive almost everything from pumps, conveyers, refrigeration equipment, air compressors and fans to a host of other operations too numerous to mention.
-
- CCl2F2 and other chlorofluorocarbons) used as refrigeration gases and fire extinguishing agents.
-
- Decreased stratospheric ozone: a depletion in ozone levels caused by the release of refrigerants, which produce free radicals that catalyze the decomposition of ozone.
