Dichlorofluoromethane is a chemical compound from the group of aliphatic, saturated fluorochlorohydrocarbons . It is a refrigerant and propellant that came to be known as Freon 21 , among other things .

properties

The density of the liquid phase of dichlorofluoromethane at the boiling point is 1.4048 kg / l at 1 bar and 15 ° C. The critical temperature is 178.5 ° C, the critical pressure is 51.7 bar, the critical density is 0.522 g / cm 3 , the triple point is at a temperature of −135 ° C (melting temperature). Dichlorofluoromethane is listed on the Montreal Protocol and its ozone depletion potential is 0.040. In addition, dichlorofluoromethane is a greenhouse gas with an average lifetime in the atmosphere of 1.7 years and a global warming potential of 148 over a century.

use

Dichlorofluoromethane was used in cooling technology as a refrigerant and as an inert propellant for aerosols and foams . Today its use is prohibited because of the ozone depletion potential.
