Freon in Air Conditioning

System

Freon
any of several simple fluorinated aliphatic organic compounds
that are used in commerce and industry.
It contains, hydrogen, chlorine, or bromine.
It is a type of chlorofluorocarbon and other related
components
Freon are colorless, odorless, non flammable, non corrosive
gases or low liquid of low toxicity.
it is a gas at room temperature and a liquid when cooled or
compressed
change phases quickly

Types of Freon
R22 or chlorodifluoromethane
-commonly used as propellant and refrigerant
-this are phase-out due to the high global warming potential.
-it is a versatile intermediate in industrial organ fluorine
chemistry as a precursor to tetrafluorothylene
R410A
-does not contribute to 0-zone deputation.
-have a higher global warming potential.
(2088times the effect of carbon dioxide)
-mixed refrigerant

Air Conditioner - cools a larger contained area. These cooling

device use chemicals. Such as Freon.

Three Main Parts of Air Conditioner

Condenser
-it is actually a radiator in which the refrigerant condenses
from gas to a liquid form as it is cooled. Found at the outside
part
Evaporator
-This is where the refrigerant evaporates from a liquid form
back into gaseous form. As the refrigerant evaporates it gets
very cold and allows the car interior to be cooled off.
Compressor
-Compresses the refrigerant from a low temperature, low
pressure gas to a high temperature, high pressure gas.
Potential Problem
The biggest problem that can occur in regards to a Freon is a
Leak. A leak gas will first sink to the floor because Freon is
4 times heavier than air. It will then disperse because it is
highly volatile

Freons role in air conditioning units

Freon used for that matter finds it way to the compressor in
the form of gas that is cool and has a low pressure. Once it is
in the compressor, it is squeezed into a fluid, which then packs
the molecules of the Freon closer together. At this point, Freon
has high energy and high temperature.
The fluid then leaves the compressor as a high temperature
and high pressure gas. It then flows into the condenser found
at the outside part of the house.
When Freon moves out of the condenser, it now has a cooler
temperature. From a gas to a liquid under high pressure. The
Freon liquid then goes into the evaporator, passing through a
very narrow hole.
Once it gets to the other side f this opening, its pressure drops.
The liquid evaporates into a gas. Then Freon extracts heat
from the air around it.
FREON uses the heat in the air to separate its molecules,
resulting in the change from a liquid to gas.
When Freon leaves the evaporator, it is again cool and low
pressure gas. There is a fan connected to the evaporator that
circulates the air inside the house, causing it to blow across the
fins of the evaporator. It is because hot air is lighter and less
dense than cold air, hot air in a closed room rises the upper
section of the room. Hot air is sucked into the AC through a
vent, this hot air then meets the cool gas from the evaporator.
Heat is them removed from the air causing it to become cool
air is then blow to the room.
