The application of hyrdrofluorocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon in the refrigerants has a very adverse impact on the environment. One of the biggest adverse impacts is the depletion of the ozone layer that has become a topic of great concern among the people of the world. Efforts are being made to replace these harmful refrigerants with a eco-friendly refrigerant such as R600a.
What is R600a?
R600a is a refrigerant grade isobutane. It is a natural refrigerant that is suitable for a wide range of applications in refrigerant. It is a very good replacement of harmful refrigerants such as R12, R13a, R22, hydrofluorocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon. R600a is a part of petrol gas that is produced naturally.
Isobutane R600a has gained a lot of popularity in last few years due to its exceptional thermodynamics performance and very low impact on the environment. It is a non toxic substance with zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential. R600a cycles may use a system of current vapour compression with minimum design tweaks.
Properties of R600a
Uses of R600a
Due to its eco-friendly properties and the global concern of ozone layer depletion, R600a has become a refrigerant gas of choice in small commercial refrigerant and domestic refrigerant. Some of the uses of R600a are-
Precautions while using R600a
R600a must be handled with utmost care and its packaging and transportation should be done as per the guidelines. It is a flammable gas, and should be kept away from flames. R600a should be handled by the person who is wearing a mask as the inhalation of this gas may cause problems.
