Which of the following is a widely used refrigerant in vapour compression refrigeration system (using large centrifugal compressor) ?

Correct answer: A. Freon

  • A. Freon
  • B. Liquid sulphur dioxide
  • C. Methyl chloride
  • D. Ammonia

Explanation

Large centrifugal refrigeration compressors have historically used Freons such as R-11 and R-12 because of their suitable pressure and volumetric characteristics. Ammonia is widely used in refrigeration, but more commonly with reciprocating or screw compressors in this context.
