Cooking oil (also known as edible oil) is a plant or animal liquid fat used in frying, baking, and other types of cooking. Oil allows higher cooking temperatures than water, making cooking faster and more flavorful, while likewise distributing heat, reducing burning and uneven cooking. It sometimes imparts its own flavor.
Butane ( / ˈbjuːteɪn /) or n-butane is an alkane with the formula C 4 H 10. Butane is a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas that quickly vaporizes at room temperature and pressure. The name butane comes from the root but- (from butyric acid, named after the Greek word for butter) and the suffix -ane.
Trichlorofluoromethane, also called freon-11, CFC-11, or R-11, is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC). It is a colorless, faintly ethereal, and sweetish-smelling liquid that boils around room temperature. [5] CFC-11 is a Class 1 ozone -depleting substance which damages Earth's protective stratospheric ozone layer. [6]
Polyolester oil (POE oil) is a type of wax-free synthetic oils used in refrigeration compressors that is compatible with the refrigerants R-134a, R-410A, and R-12. [1] POE oils are used as a lubricant in systems using the refrigerant HFC-134a when replacing CFC-12 , as these systems traditionally use mineral oil , [ 2 ] which HFC-134a does not ...
A refrigerant is a working fluid used in the refrigeration cycle of air conditioning systems and heat pumps where in most cases they undergo a repeated phase transition from a liquid to a gas and back again. Refrigerants are heavily regulated because of their toxicity and flammability and the contribution of CFC and HCFC refrigerants to ozone ...
Liquefied petroleum gas. Liquefied petroleum gas, also referred to as liquid petroleum gas ( LPG or LP gas ), is a fuel gas which contains a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases, specifically propane, n -butane and isobutane. It can sometimes contain some propylene, butylene, and isobutene. [ 1][ 2][ 3]
Refrigerant reclamation. Refrigerant reclamation is the act of processing used refrigerant gas which has previously been used in some type of refrigeration loop such that it meets specifications for new refrigerant gas. In the United States, the Section 608 of the Clean Air Act of 1990 requires that used refrigerant be processed by a certified ...
