Required Properties of Ideal Refrigerant:
1) The refrigerant should have a low boiling point and a low freezing point.
2) It must have low specific heat and high latent heat. Because high specific heat decreases the refrigerating effect per kg of refrigerant and high latent heat at low temperature increases the refrigerating effect per kg of refrigerant.
3) It must have high critical pressure and temperature to avoid large power requirements.
4) The pressures required to be maintained in the evaporator and condenser should be low enough to reduce the material cost and must be positive to avoid leakage of air into the system.
5) It should have a low specific volume to reduce the size of the compressor.
6) It must have high thermal conductivity and a high heat transfer coefficient to reduce the area of heat transfer in the evaporator and condenser.
7) It should be non-flammable, non-explosive, non-toxic, and non-corrosive.
8) It should not have any bad effects on the stored material or food when any leak develops in the system.
9) It must have high miscibility with lubricating oil, and it should not react properly with lubricating oil in the temperature range of the system.
10) It should give high COP in the working temperature range. This is necessary to reduce the running cost of the system.
