— liquefied propane is used as a refrigerant. It has several advantages: non-toxic, environmentally friendly (zero impact on the ozone layer, minimal impact on global warming), homogeneous (i.e. does not require complete replacement in case of leakage, it is enough to replenish the missing amount), used with mineral oil, which is insensitive to moisture. In addition, propane has a low operating pressure, which simplifies the design of circuits and reduces their cost, as well as a low temperature at the outlet of the compressor, which contributes to efficiency.This refrigerant has two disadvantages: flammability and high compressor power requirements, which makes such units quite heavy and bulky. Therefore, despite all the advantages, R290 is used quite rarely.
