types of hydrocarbon refrigerants
If they are used responsibly, hydrocarbons can be employed in a variety of refrigeration and air conditioning applications. In order to ensure safety, hydrocarbon applications are governed by various international, regional and national standards and regulation.he refrigeration properties of hydrocarbons, such as pressures, pressure ratios and discharge temperatures, are quite similar to those of HCFCs or HFCs in many respects. The most commonly used hydrocarbons (propane and isobutane) are compatible with standard oils and materials used with HFCs.
