We all rely on our ACs in the summer to keep ourselves cool and comfortable. But do you know how your air conditioner keeps the room cold? Well, air conditioning systems employ refrigerant gas that absorbs the heat from the room and leaves the hot air outdoors. You may find it interesting to know that there wouldn’t be air conditioning, freezing, or refrigeration technology without refrigerant. Let me tell you which gas is filled in AC for cooling.

Different Types of Gases Used in ACs

R410A, R22, and R32 are the most common refrigerant gases used in AC. However, R600A (Isobutane) and R290 (Propane) are some of the environmental friendly refrigerants available on the market.

Why Does Air Conditioners Require Gas

Your air conditioner requires gas for transporting heat from indoors to outdoors. The refrigerant is a low-pressure gas that converts into liquid and again converted to gas during a constant cyclic process. The refrigerant gas is found in copper coils. The coils and refrigerant will absorb the heat available in the air. During this process, refrigerant gas will become a liquid to help in the transmittal and exchange of heat. You should know that your air conditioner won’t work efficiently either if the refrigerant is too little or if too much.

I don't think today we can survive without an air conditioner. Even though I am concerned about the environment it is quite difficult to live comfortably without an AC. But we can at least understand which gas is used in AC in order to choose the best kind of air conditioner that does not impact the environment negatively.

Which gas is used in split AC?

If you have an AC you must know that the gas of an AC is fluid which is used in different kinds of appliances like ACs, refrigerators and all the other kinds of cooling devices. This gas absorbs all of the heat and releases it outside into the environment. That is why the ideal AC gas should have features like inflammability, non toxicity, non-corrosiveness, and climate friendly. This is so that it can be used without causing much harm to the environment.

Now let me tell you which gas used in AC.

R290

Although very flammable, R290 (propane) is a hydrocarbon and an effective refrigerant with a low Global Warming Potential  (GWP). It's non-toxic with a safety classification of A3. 

R32 

R32 is an HFC refrigerant that is used as a replacement for R410A in low-temperature refrigeration and air conditioning applications. It's Mildly flammable, and non-toxic with a safety classification of A2L. 

R12, R22 and R502

They're known as refrigerants, which means they help cool down your room by turning into liquids when pumped through the system. They are not very safe and environment-friendly to use.

I hope now you understand which gas is used in AC.

I called a NoBroker AC Technician to repair my broken air conditioner yesterday. He informed me that there had been a gas leak and he needed to refill the gas in the air conditioner. I asked him the AC gas name. He informed me, that the

chemicals that allow your air conditioner to cool are called refrigerants

.

Which Gas is Used in Air Conditioner?

You can get the complete list of air conditioner gas names above. Moreover, the AC Technician told me that the gases R32 and R290 are both utilised in air conditioners. They aid in room cooling through their transformation into liquids when forced through the system.

The most popular refrigerant is R-22, sometimes known as chlorodifluoromethane or HCFC-22. However, the manufacture and importation of R-22 has been phased out in many nations due to its negative impact on the ozone layer. 

In comparison to other gases such as R12, and R22, R32 or R290 are less hazardous and environment-friendly to use.

R32 is an HFC refrigerant that is employed as an alternative to R-410A in low-temperature air conditioning and refrigeration uses. However, nowadays, most of the air conditioning systems use alternative refrigerants, like R-410A.

The AC Technician advised me to select the right refrigerant for air conditioning systems. For it to function effectively at moderate pressures and absorb and release heat, it needs to have the proper thermodynamic properties. You can also hire an AC Technician at a low cost from the below link:
