Summary

Hydrocarbons (HCs) are environment friendly and efficient refrigerants for use in refrigeration. Hydrocarbons are not new and were developed as refrigerants in the early 19th century. However, they were quickly abandoned in favour of CFC/HCFC refrigerants such as R11, R12 and R22 and so on that were invented in the 1930s, as the latter were easier to use since they had none of the flammability issues of HCs.
