Propane also is an effective refrigerant. It is used in many petrochem plants.

Of course they are already designed to handle flammable materials so it is no big challenge for them.

Ammonia is still used as an industrial refrigerant, smelly stuff and quite dangerous when there is a spill.

Yes it was, and when they had a refrigerant leak people would die.... But I am sure the EPA doesn’t give a crap about that.

And poor Frederic Tudor is still crying over the ammonia innovation.

Ammonia is still used in large scale refrigeration, including ice rinks.

The cost of changeover from cfc is another issue.
