About this document
Refrigerant Selection for Cooling Systems by CarlosD.Martinez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Refrigerants are selected based on economics, equipment type and size, and application. For compression systems, manufacturers preselect refrigerants to optimize costs. Common refrigerants include R-12, R-500, and R-22. For absorption cycles, water is often used as the refrigerant and lithium bromide as the absorbent. The refrigerant and absorbent must have suitable vapor pressures and temperature relationships for the generator and absorber.
