NONREFRIGERANT Meaning and
Definition
-
Nonrefrigerant is an adjective used to describe substances that are not suitable or intended for use as coolants or refrigerants in cooling systems or appliances. It refers to substances which do not possess the necessary properties required for effective heat transfer or efficient cooling.
In the context of refrigeration, a refrigerant is a substance that undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid and back to a gas again, facilitating the transfer of heat and enabling the process of cooling. Nonrefrigerants lack this ability to undergo such phase transitions or do not possess the desirable thermodynamic properties that allow them to effectively and efficiently remove heat from a system.
Typically, nonrefrigerant substances lack the necessary low boiling points and high latent heat of vaporization required to extract heat from the environment and transfer it to another location. Additionally, they may have unsuitable properties that make them prohibitively expensive, hazardous, or environmentally harmful.
In practical terms, nonrefrigerants are substances that do not meet the criteria for being an efficient and suitable medium for heat transfer in cooling systems. Thus, they are not used in the construction or operation of refrigeration and cooling equipment or the storage of perishable goods at low temperatures.

Etymology of NONREFRIGERANT
The word "nonrefrigerant" is a compound formed by combining the prefix "non-" which means "not" or "without", and the word "refrigerant".
The term "refrigerant" originated from the Latin word "refrigerare", which means "to make cool" or "to chill". The Latin word is a combination of the prefix "re-" which denotes "again", and "frigerare", meaning "to cool" or "to be cold".
