With the continuous development of the refrigeration industry, a variety of refrigerants have emerged. Currently, the market can be divided into two main categories: new refrigerants and traditional refrigerants. Both have their own advantages, and manufacturers can independently choose between new and traditional refrigerants based on their specific needs. This article will introduce the differences between them, how to select the right one, and a comparison of the price advantages and disadvantages of new refrigerants.
Firstly, let's discuss traditional refrigerants, which are commonly found in the market, such as saltwater, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, calcium chloride, and others. These refrigerants are advantageous due to their low cost and ease of availability. However, their drawbacks have also emerged, primarily in terms of equipment corrosion. Many devices will develop a common issue after using saltwater or ethylene glycol for some time, which is gradual rusting and clogging of pipelines, significantly affecting refrigeration power and indirectly leading to increased energy consumption and costs. Secondly, they have a narrow temperature range and are limited to specific applications, making it difficult to meet the refrigeration needs of certain environments. This can easily cause pipelines to freeze and damage the equipment. Additionally, there are toxicity issues with some traditional refrigerants, which require extreme caution during use to prevent accidents and life-threatening situations. Moreover, some physical properties are not optimal, such as low thermal conductivity, which can indirectly increase costs.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the new refrigerant? Does the price of the new refrigerant offer an advantage? Let's break down the benefits of the currently well-known refrigerants on the market, such as the Ice River Refrigerant. Firstly, in terms of corrosion, based on feedback from 2,000 customers across the nation, the Ice River Refrigerant does not corrode pipelines and the liquid inside the equipment remains as clear as new even after years of use, alleviating concerns about cleaning equipment and similar issues. Secondly, the temperature range of the Ice River Refrigerant is vast, making it easily adaptable to any special environment, with a temperature range of -145℃ to 350℃. Regarding toxicity, compared to traditional refrigerants, the new refrigerant is non-toxic, eliminating worries about harm to people in case of leakage. In terms of heat transfer efficiency, the new refrigerant is highly effective, with a high thermal conductivity coefficient, effectively saving costs. So after the above explanations, comparing the old and new refrigerants should give you a clear answer!
