3) R22 or HCFC-22 is a single

component HCFC refrigerant with
low ozone depletion potential. It has
long been used in a variety of airconditioning and refrigeration
applications in a variety of markets,
including appliance, construction,
food processing, and supermarkets

5)
R123 or HCFC-123 is a
replacement for R11 in chillers and
is providing this new refrigerant to
chiller manufacturers for use in new
and existing chillers
6)
Refrigerant R134a or HFC-134a is a commercially available hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)

refrigerant for use as a long-term replacement for R-12 in new equipment and for retrofitting
