What is Freon?

Freon is a trade name for a group of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used primarily as refrigerants. They were widely used due to their stability and suitable thermodynamic properties. However, due to their ozone depletion potential and contribution to global warming, many Freon compounds have been phased out or are being phased out, replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives.
