adj. 1. refrigerating; cooling. 2. reducing bodily heat or fever. n. 3. a refrigerant agent, as a drug. 4. a liquid capable of vaporizing at a low temperature, as ammonia, used in mechanical refrigeration. re·frig·er·ant (rĭ-frĭj′ər-ənt) A substance, such as ice or ammonia, used to cool something by absorbing heat from it. Refrigerants are usually substances that evaporate quickly. In the process of evaporation they draw heat from surrounding substances.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | refrigerant - any substance used to provide cooling (as in a refrigerator)substance - a particular kind or species of matter with uniform properties; "shigella is one of the most toxic substances known to man"cryogen - a liquid that boils at below -160 C and is used as a refrigerant | | Adj. | 1. | refrigerant - causing cooling or freezing; "a refrigerant substance such as ice or solid carbon dioxide"refrigeratingcold - having a low or inadequate temperature or feeling a sensation of coldness or having been made cold by e.g. ice or refrigeration; "a cold climate"; "a cold room"; "dinner has gotten cold"; "cold fingers"; "if you are cold, turn up the heat"; "a cold beer" |

refrigerant1. a fluid capable of changes of phase at low temperatures: used as the working fluid of a refrigerator 2. a cooling substance, such as ice or solid carbon dioxide 3. Med an agent that provides a sensation of coolness or reduces fever RefrigerantCompound used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and heat pumps to transfer heat from one place to another, thus cooling or heating a space. Most refrigerants today are hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which deplete the ozone layer.Refrigerant the working fluid of a refrigerating machine, which boils or expands, removing heat from an object to be cooled, and is then compressed, transfering the heat to a cooling medium, such as water or air. Refrigerants must satisfy several requirements: they must have a low boiling temperature at pressures above atmospheric (to prevent air from leaking in), a moderate condensation pressure and temperature, a low freezing temperature and a high critical temperature, a high heat of vaporization for small specific volumes of the vapor, a low specific heat, and a high thermal conductivity. It is also desirable that they be flameproof, nontoxic, noncombustible, neutral with respect to building materials, and inert with respect to lubricants. Refrigerants may be divided into three groups according to their boiling temperature at atmospheric pressure: high-temperature (above – 10°C), medium-temperature (below – 10°C), and low-temperature (below – 50°C). The principal refrigerants are ammonia, the Freons, and certain hydrocarbons. Ammonia is a medium-temperature refrigerant. It has the advantages of low cost and good thermophysical indexes. Its drawbacks include toxicity and the danger of explosion. Ammonia also has a destructive effect on copper and its alloys. Most Freons are nontoxic and noncombustible. They number over 50 different types and blends and include examples in all temperature groups. The most common are Freon-12, Freon-22 (medium-temperature), and Freon-13 (low-temperature). The hydrocarbons—ethane, propane, and ethylene—have a low freezing temperature but present an explosion hazard; they are used in large and intermediate-size refrigerating plants in the petroleum and gas industries. Water is used as the refrigerant in steam-jet refrigerating machines and absorption refrigerators operating on a solution of water and lithium bromide. In gas refrigerators, such gases as helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and air usually serve as the refrigerant. REFERENCEBogdanov, S. N., O. P. Ivanov, and A. V. Kupriianova.

GOGOLIN refrigerant[ri′frij·ə·rənt] (materials) A substance that by undergoing a change in phase (liquid to gas, gas to liquid) releases or absorbs a large latent heat in relation to its volume, and thus effects a considerable cooling effect; examples are ammonia, sulfur dioxide, ethyl or methyl chloride (these are no longer widely used), and the fluorocarbons, such as Freon, Ucon, and Genetron. refrigerantThe medium of heat transfer in a refrigeration system which absorbs heat by evaporation at low temperature and pressure and gives up heat on condensing at higher temperatures and pressures.refrigerant
