A familiar example of the stickiness of water occurs when you drink water through a straw â a process thatâs very similar to the method plants use to pull water through their bodies. You apply suction at the top of the straw, and the water molecules move toward your mouth.
Types of refrigerants. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) These are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon. They were developed in the 1930's and were used in a variety of industrial, commercial, household and automotive applications.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are commonly used as the gases used to exchange heat in refrigeration, due to their high volatility. However, when released into the upper atmosphere, their carbon-chlorine bonds are easily broken by solar radiation to release chlorine radicals (unstable chlorine atoms).
