TYPES OF REFRIGERANTS
1) halocarbons or freons.
2) azeotropic refrigerants.
3) zeotropic refrigerants.
4) inorganic refrigerants like carbon dioxide, ammonia, water and air.
5) hydrocarbon refrigerants

Halocarbons are generally synthetically produced. Depending on whether they include chemical elements hydrogen (H), carbon (C), chlorine (Cl) and florine (F) they are named after as follows:
CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons): R11, R12, R113, R114, R115
HCFCs (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons): R22, R123
HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons): R134a, R404a, R407C, R410a
HCFCs (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons): R22, R123
HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons): R134a, R404a, R407C, R410a
Amoung these types, the one containing chlorine (CFCs) are not used because of their potential harm to ozone layer that protect life on earth by blocking harmful radiations coming from the sun.
Refrigerant fluids are essential in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and R407C is a commonly used refrigerant known for its low environmental impact and energy efficiency.
